Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/2 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Brown sugar: 1/2 cup
- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Vegetable oil: 1/2 cup
- Boiling water: 1 cup
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Step 3: Add vegetable oil and boiling water to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. The batter will be thin.

- Step 5: Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Store cooled brownie cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain its fudgy texture.
- Warm individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a gooey, melty treat.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra decadent dessert.
- The boiling water activates the cocoa powder, creating a deeper, richer chocolate flavor, so don't skip that step!
