Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113g) Butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (95g) All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) Cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Filling
- Filling of choice (cream cheese frosting, Nutella, or peanut butter)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Start by melting the butter gently, then whisk it together with the sugar until combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Bake in a Sheet Pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the brownie batter evenly to form a thin, flat layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or until set but still moist to the touch. The batter should be firm enough to roll without cracking.
- Add the Filling: Remove the brownie layer from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes until it is warm but comfortable to handle. Spread your chosen filling evenly over the entire surface, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
- Roll It Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the brownie layer into a tight spiral using the parchment paper to assist. Once rolled, wrap the brownie roll tightly in plastic wrap or foil and chill for at least 30 minutes to set its shape.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, unwrap the brownie roll and use a serrated knife to cut into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and optionally dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make rolling easier and neater.
- Do not overbake; aim for a slightly underbaked center to keep the rolls soft and pliable.
- Cool the brownie before adding filling to avoid melting the filling but keep it warm for easier spreading.
- Chill the rolled brownie to set its shape and make slicing easier.
- Use a sharp serrated knife to cut to prevent squishing the rolls.
