Ingredients
  

  • 10 tablespoons vegan butter — Miyoko’s nails it for high performance
  • 1 cup evaporated cane sugar whizzed in the food processor or blender until fine
  • 3/4 cup Dutch process cocoa
  • 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup plain seltzer soda water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly oil an 8X8 inch baking pan.
  • In a saucepan, heat vegan butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until melted.  Pour in the sugar and stir to dissolve.  Sift in cocoa, flour and baking powder and stir in  gently. Add vanilla and seltzer. Mix together with a light hand just until combined and batter is streak-free.
  • Pour batter into baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes.  Allow to cool completely before slicing. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight to improve texture and avoid crumbling.

Notes

Brownies keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week.
