Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (can swap with almond flour for gluten-free)
- ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 6–8 Cadbury Creme Eggs, halved
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
- Optional: chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until fully liquid. Let it cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or 4-5 minutes by hand. Add vanilla extract and beat well.
- Slowly pour melted butter into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to combine.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Pour half the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Arrange half the halved Cadbury Eggs, cut side down, spaced evenly over the batter.
- Spread the remaining batter over the Cadbury Eggs, carefully covering them. Place the remaining Cadbury Egg halves on top, cut side up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the brownie (avoid hitting the Cadbury Eggs). It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Remove from oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before lifting out with the parchment paper. Cool completely before slicing.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or sprinkle chopped nuts just before serving.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter after adding dry ingredients to keep brownies tender and fudgy. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Tent with foil halfway through baking if Cadbury Eggs start to bubble over. Let brownies cool completely before slicing to set gooey centers. Batter can be prepared ahead and refrigerated overnight; add Cadbury Eggs just before baking.
