1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until liquid. Stir in cocoa powder until smooth.
Mix in sugar, then add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
