Cakey Vanilla Brownies are a delightful twist on traditional brownies, offering a light and fluffy texture that’s sure to please any sweet tooth. These brownies are infused with a rich vanilla flavor, making them a perfect treat for any occasion.
Whether you enjoy them plain or topped with a scoop of ice cream, these cakey brownies are versatile and satisfying. The recipe is simple, requiring basic ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry. The combination of butter and sugar creates a sweet base, while the eggs add moisture and structure. The result is a batch of delicious, cake-like brownies that are perfect for sharing with friends and family, or simply indulging in on your own.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a glossy base for your brownies.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring that all the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in denser brownies.
- Pour in the milk and gently fold it into the batter until fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth and pourable. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
Extra Tips:
To enhance the flavor of your cakey vanilla brownies, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the batter. You can also experiment with different extracts, such as almond or coconut, to give your brownies a unique twist.
For an extra treat, dust the cooled brownies with powdered sugar or serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Enjoy your delightful creation!
