Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking mix for gluten-free option)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Dr. Pepper soda

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy removal.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix with Cocoa: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth and shiny to ensure even chocolate flavor.
  3. Add Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla: Stir granulated sugar into the cocoa-butter mixture. Beat in the eggs one at a time to create a smooth, creamy batter. Finish by mixing in vanilla extract for added depth.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently to maintain tenderness.
  5. Stir in Dr. Pepper: Slowly fold the Dr. Pepper soda into the batter, allowing the fizz to lighten the texture and infuse a unique fruity and spicy flavor.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares to allow the fudgy texture to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep brownies tender.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer for consistent results.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely for best texture.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to suit your preferred sweetness.
