Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine melted butter and cocoa powder. Mix in sugar until smooth, then beat in eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  4. Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. While brownies cool, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and strawberry puree until smooth.
  6. Once brownies are completely cool, spread frosting evenly on top. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
