Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry blend to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Add Bailey’s Irish Cream: Fold in the Bailey’s Irish Cream, making sure it is evenly incorporated throughout the batter to add a rich, creamy flavor.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, indicating perfect doneness.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, cut into squares, and serve your decadent Bailey’s Irish Cream Brownies.
Notes
- For a stronger Bailey’s flavor, you can add an extra 1/4 cup of Irish Cream, adjusting the wet ingredients slightly to maintain batter consistency.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and Bailey’s with a non-dairy Irish cream liqueur.
- Brownies are best served at room temperature to enhance the creamy flavor.
