Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter, then stir in the granulated and light brown sugars until combined.
- Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Pour in the vegetable oil and sift in the cocoa powder, stirring until fully integrated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt, then fold into the wet batter until just combined.
- Mix in the vinegar gently and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy, then gradually sift in the powdered sugar and mix until fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled brownies, then cut into squares to serve.
