Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper extends over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until fully combined; this ensures even distribution of leavening and chocolate throughout your batter.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy and smooth. This creates the base sweetness and incorporates air for a soft texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mixing well ensures the eggs emulsify into the butter and sugar, creating a cohesive batter.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined—overmixing can lead to tough rolls.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached for that perfect fudgy texture.
  7. Roll While Warm: Once baked, immediately invert the warm brownie onto a clean kitchen towel dusted lightly with powdered sugar. Starting at one short edge, carefully roll the brownie and towel together, then let it cool completely in the rolled form. This shapes the brownie into the signature roll without cracking.
  8. Unroll and Fill: Gently unroll the cooled brownie and spread your favorite filling such as cream cheese frosting, Nutella, or whipped cream evenly over the surface.
  9. Re-roll and Chill: Roll the brownie back up without the towel, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set its shape and flavors.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help everything blend smoothly for a consistent batter.
  • Don’t overbake: pull the brownie out when it’s slightly underdone for that irresistible fudginess.
  • Roll immediately after baking while warm to prevent cracks and breaks in the finished roll.
  • Chill before slicing; protein and sugar firm up in the fridge, making it easier to get clean slices.
  • Choose a filling that is spreadable but firm enough to hold when sliced.
