Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Whisk until well blended.
  • Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter and pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick batter forms.
  • Crack 4 large eggs into the batter, one at a time, and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir gently until well incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
  • Top the cooled brownies with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  • Slice the brownies into squares and serve them on a platter.

Notes

Perfect consistency is achieved by ensuring melted butter isn't too hot before adding. Room temperature eggs and thorough cooling enhance texture.
