Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt flakes, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and then beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the batter. Then, pour the remaining brownie batter over the caramel and spread gently.
- Using a knife or skewer, swirl the caramel sauce through the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle the sea salt flakes evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a richer caramel flavor, use homemade salted caramel sauce.
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation into the batter.
- Do not overbake the brownies, as this can result in a dry texture.
