Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
Stir the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla together with a spoon until evenly blended.
Add the eggs and stir until the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until no dry streaks remain.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the brownies begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
