Butter (softened): ¾ cup
Baking powder: 1 ½ tsp
Vanilla essence: 1 ½ tsp
Dark chocolate: 90 grams

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a rectangular cake pan. Mix together flour, baking powder and cocoa powder. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter, eggs and vanilla essence. Gradually add sugar. Beat on medium to high speed for about 3-4 minutes until well mixed. Alternatively combine in flour mixture and milk while beating. Continue to beat until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter in the greased and floured cake pan. Bake 30-40 minutes. Check with a toothpick to see, if it is done. Bake a few minutes more if required. Remove from oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Place brownie on a wire rack and let it cool completely. You can finish with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to jazz up this brownie hero. Who could resist it?
