Ingredients

• 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) Chocolate cake mix
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.33 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and cocoa powder. Stir until evenly mixed and no lumps remain.

Step 3

Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, ensuring all the ingredients are incorporated into a thick, smooth batter. Avoid overrunning.

Step 4

If desired, gently fold in the chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts for added texture.

Step 5

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Step 8

Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
