How long does it take to bake brownies?

The distinctive feature of the chocolate brownie is its slightly moist interior. This is what creates the unforgettable sensation of eating a rich, chocolate-flavored sponge cake. This is especially evident when the cake is still warm.

This effect can be achieved by using the right dough consistency, but the main emphasis is still on the baking process.

The optimal baking time for brownies is 20–25 minutes at 160°C (320°F). Other baking times may negatively affect the dough.

How to serve brownies

Chocolate sponge cake develops its flavor best when slightly warm. Since brownies are traditionally served in small squares, the whole cake should cool to room temperature before slicing. This will make it easier to cut, and the individual pieces will hold their shape well. Therefore, you can warm the brownies in the microwave if desired.
