Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking tin with parchment paper.

In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Pour the batter into your prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick about 2 inches from the edge—it should come out clean, but the center should still feel a bit soft. Let the brownies cool completely in the tin before slicing.
