The Classic Brownie

Even those who don't like chocolate cake (perish the thought!) will eat brownies... go figure. This classic brownie recipe, adapted from Amy Sedaris' very funny book, I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, should make everyone happy. It's utterly simple to prepare and has the most wonderful texture.

Brownies

4 eggs, beaten until fluffy
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 12 0z. package semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Heat butter and chocolate chips over medium-low heat until completely melted.

Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Mix in melted chocolate mixture, eggs, sugar and vanilla by hand. Pour into a 13 x 9 baking dish coated with non-stick baking spray.

Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
