2 tablespoons of soft butter
3 tablespoons of milk
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder without sugar
1 and a half cups of powdered sugar
How to Prepare Brownies like the Ones from the School Cafeteria
Heat the oven to 350˚F. Cover a 9-inch by 9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, ensuring that the foil extends over the edges a bit.
In a bowl, mix the sugar and butter for the batter until the mixture becomes lighter in color and texture. Mix in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
Gradually mix in the flour and cocoa powder until the color is even. Put the mixture in the baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until a knife inserted in the middle comes out mostly dry with a few moist crumbs. To achieve the ideal texture, avoid baking for too long.
Once the brownies are cooling down, start preparing the frosting. In a bowl, mix together butter, milk, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar until you get a smooth frosting. If the mixture is too dry, add one tablespoon of milk at a time. If the mixture is too liquid, add one tablespoon of powdered sugar gradually.
When the frosting is ready, spread it over the brownies while they are still warm. This way, some of the frosting will melt into the brownies. Cut the brownies into squares and use the foil to help remove them from the pan.
