Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
1 cup fresh raspberries (mashed)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup powdered sugar (for the raspberry mixture)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually sift in cocoa powder and flour, folding gently until just combined.
In a separate bowl, mash fresh raspberries with powdered sugar to create a chunky sauce.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry mixture onto the batter, then add remaining brownie batter on top.
Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl through the layers for a marbled effect.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Allow cooling before slicing.
