Cast Iron Brownies

• Dessert is only a cast iron skillet away!

• 3/4 cup butter
• 2 cups white sugar                   
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch oven-proof skillet.
2. Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Add sugar and cocoa powder to butter and stir. Heat butter-cocoa mixture in microwave until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds.
3. Mix vanilla extract into butter-cocoa mixture. Stir eggs into butter-cocoa mixture; add flour and stir until batter is well mixed. Pour batter into the prepared skillet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
