Cake Mix Brownies Easy and Delicious Recipe Guide

Ingredients

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully blended and smooth.
3. Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and salt into the cake mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
7. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once completely cooled, cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
