- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before frosting.
- For the frosting, whisk the powdered sugar with a bit of water until smooth and spreadable, then spread over the cooled brownies.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- Make sure the brownies are completely cool before frosting to avoid melting.
