Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment or wax paper leaving an overhang on opposite sides of the pan for easier lifting or removal of the brownies once they are baked.
  • Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F.
  • Place butter in a big microwave-safe bowl and nuke it until it is completely melted. It took me 3 times 30 seconds on high power.
  • Now add the sugar and cocoa powder to the melted butter and mix with a whisk or hand mixer for 1-2 minutes. It will be still gritty at this point. No worries.
  • Stir in the salt and vanilla and then add the eggs one at a time stirring vigorously after every addition. Continue on mixing until the batter becomes smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Mix in the flour and baking powder then go on beating for another minute or two.
  • Add half of the cashew nuts to the batter if using and mix until well distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the lined baking pan spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the other half of the cashew on top distributing them equally.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the inserted toothpick comes out almost clean. Let it cool completely before removing from the pan.
