Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper.

Melt the unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in granulated sugar until combined.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a separate bowl.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Sprinkle salt over the batter before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Allow to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
