Ingredients

1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and cocoa powder. Whisk together until well combined.

Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using). The batter will be thick.

Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
