Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) light brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (80g) unsweetened cocoa powder (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 cup (227g) Danish Creamery Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 6 cups (720g) powdered sugar (spooned and leveled)
  • tiny pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (60mL) heavy whipping cream (room temperature, reserving 1 Tbsp for just the chocolate buttercream)
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder (spooned and leveled)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 6-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Sift together cocoa powder, sea salt, and flour in a separate bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely.
  5. For frosting, beat room-temperature butter until creamy. Add cream cheese and mix until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing on low speed until incorporated. Stir in heavy whipping cream, vanilla bean paste, cocoa powder, and a tiny pinch of salt. Mix until fluffy.
  6. Spread frosting over the cooled brownie layer, optionally topping with brownie chunks.
