- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for glaze)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
- While the brownies are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the brownies have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top.
- Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.
- You can substitute the lemon juice with lime juice for a different citrus twist.
- For a fun texture, fold in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or white chocolate chips before baking.
