Steps

1Brownies
2Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease.
3In a large bowl, whisk together melted and cooled butter and sugar until well-mixed. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until well-combined.
4Add flour, sifted cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until combined.
5Transfer batter to prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top slightly.
6Bake for 27-35 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
7Cool completely before frosting.
8Chocolate Frosting
9In a large bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, optional espresso powder, and salt. Pour in milk as you beat the frosting until it reaches your desired consistency, adding more milk by the 1/2 teaspoon if necessary.
10Spread frosting over completely cooled brownies and add sprinkles if desired. Slice and enjoy!
