📖 Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. This prevents sticking and ensures even baking. If you're really organised, you could line it with parchment paper, too. That makes clean-up a breeze!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk everything together until it's well combined. Make sure there are no lumps of cocoa powder hiding! This step is crucial for a smooth, delicious brownie.
In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer. Cream it all together until it's light and fluffy. This will make your brownies super moist and fudgy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, which can make the brownies tough. We want them gooey and amazing!
Stir in the chocolate chips. Mmm, chocolate!
Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. This ensures even baking and prevents any parts of the brownie from being under or over cooked.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Don't overbake! We want fudgy, not cakey, brownies.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Impatience is the enemy of a perfectly set brownie! This gives the structure time to set properly.
Once cooled, scoop your favorite ice cream onto each brownie square. I personally love vanilla bean, but you do you boo!
Drizzle with chocolate sauce and top with whipped cream and cherries (or any other topping your heart desires!).

📝 Notes

Make sure your butter is completely melted before adding it to the wet ingredients.
Don’t overmix the batter. This will result in chewy brownies.
Use your favourite ice cream and toppings!
