Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cake flour
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
• Optional: 8-ounce jar of Dulce de Leche

Optional Dulce de Leche Swirl:

• Heat half of the Dulce de Leche in the microwave until smooth. Swirl 4 ounces into the brownie batter before baking. After baking, top the brownies with the remaining Dulce de Leche.

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

• Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mix the Base

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Stir in vanilla extract.

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients

• Gently mix in all-purpose flour, cake flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined — don’t overmix.

4. Add Chocolate and Optional Dulce de Leche

• Fold in chocolate chunks or chips.
• Optional: Swirl in warmed Dulce de Leche if using, for an extra decadent touch.

5. Prepare the Pan

• Transfer batter to a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan, and spread evenly.

6. Bake

• Bake for 28 to 36 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (don’t overbake for fudgy brownies).

7. Cool and Serve

• Let brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy!
