01
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2
In a big bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is light and fluffy—this should take about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 3
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined.

Step 7
Pour the batter into your prepared tin and smooth out the top.

Step 8
Bake for 15-20 minutes. The edges should be set, and a toothpick poked about 2 inches from the edge should come out clean, while the center stays a little soft. Let the brownies cool completely in the tin before slicing.
