Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup hot water
- Chocolate frosting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and buttermilk until smooth.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and the cocoa mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Carefully stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the chocolate brownie cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost with chocolate frosting if desired.
Notes
- For an extra fudgy brownie cake, do not overmix the batter.
