Brownies are small squares made of chocolate and usually served with vanilla ice cream or with milk or coffee. Depending on the density, there are two types of brownies, cakey and fudgy. The recipe given here is of the cakey brownie which has the perfect blend of chocolate and sugar. I have kept it plain, but you can also add walnuts, dried fruits or chocolate chips, and top it with powdered sugar or cream frosting.
½ cup cocoa powder
½ cup all purpose flour (maida)
50 gms butter softened to room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla essence

- Keep the eggs too outside the refrigerator so that it comes to room temperature.

- Grease a square aluminium cake tin with butter and dust it evenly with flour.
