Brownies are my very favorite sweet treat. I bake them all the time. So naturally, I had to try these Lunch Lady Brownies that I saw all over Pinterest.
Because what’s the only thing better than a brownie? A brownie with frosting. And these brownies are covered in a wonderful chocolate icing.
These are my very favorite kind of brownie- fudgy, chewy, and oh so chocolaty.
You’ll have a hard time not eating 2 or 3 or even 4 or 5. They are that good. It’s a classic recipe you will want to make over and over again.
Supposedly this recipe was originally from a lunch lady in Idaho- hence the name Lunch Lady Brownies. The recipe dates back about 50 years, proving it has stood the test of time. It’s a simple recipe made from just butter, cocoa, flour, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
If you haven’t tried this recipe before, you’ll find they are definitely a keeper.
You’ll Need (for the cake):
1 cup of butter.
½ cup of cocoa.
2 cups of flour.
2 cups of sugar.
4 eggs.
4 tsp of vanilla.
1 cup of chopped nuts.
You’ll Need (for the icing):
¼ cup of softened butter.
¼ cup of milk.
¼ cup of cocoa.
3 cups of powdered sugar.
A dash of salt.
How to:
To make the cake, mix all the ingredients together and pour the batter into a 9×13 pan.
In a preheated oven to 350° bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
Once the cake is done, let it cool a bit and prepare the icing.
Mix all the ingredients of the icing together and frost the cake as you like.
Easy, peasy and sweet! This cake is amazing. When I made it to my family, they all went crazy over it! You should give it a shot it’s worth it.
