Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, melt the butter completely. Stir in the sugar until combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
7. Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the batter, then gently swirl with a knife.
8. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and spread carefully to cover the caramel layer.
9. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top and swirl again.
10. Sprinkle sea salt flakes evenly over the surface.
11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
12. Let cool completely in the pan before lifting out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Warm individual pieces in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving to restore gooey texture.
