Ingredients
  

Brownie Batter
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
Topping
  • 1 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, melt the butter and whisk in the granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
Baking
  1. Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce on top and swirl it into the batter.
  3. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  4. Allow to cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
  5. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

Don’t skip the pecans for added texture. For store-bought caramel, choose a rich variety. To cut brownies easily, spray the knife with cooking spray before slicing.
