Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
-
Lightly butter a large baking pan, ensuring it is larger than a standard 9x13 inch pan to accommodate the volume of the batter.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy.
-
Add sugar, salt, flour, and chopped walnuts to the eggs and mix until combined.
-
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
-
Stir cocoa powder into the melted butter and heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until smooth.
-
Pour the warm butter and cocoa mixture into the egg and sugar mixture.
-
Add vanilla extract and stir until the batter is uniform.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the sides start to pull away from the pan. Do not rely on a toothpick test, as brownies continue to set after removing from the oven.
-
Remove from oven and allow brownies to cool completely in the pan.
-
For the frosting: Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan.
-
Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the melted butter and heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly until smooth.
-
Pour the butter-cocoa mixture into a mixing bowl.
-
Alternately add 1/2 pound (approximately 1 6/11 cups) of powdered sugar and 3 1/2 tablespoons of canned evaporated milk, beating after each addition.
-
Beat the frosting until it reaches a smooth spreading consistency.
-
Blend in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
-
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
