Do you have a 1960 recipe for brownies from the cocoa powder can?

I don't have access to specific recipes from the past like that, but I can give you a classic 1960s-style brownie recipe using cocoa powder. It's easy to make and uses common ingredients from that era.

1960s-Style Brownies

Ingredients:

* 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

* 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

* 2 large eggs

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

* 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

* 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

2. Melt butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.

3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

5. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

7. Cool and cut: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Tips:

* For fudgier brownies: Use slightly less flour and more cocoa powder.

* For chewier brownies: Underbake by a couple of minutes.

* For a richer flavor: Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder.

* To make it more 1960s: Top with a simple chocolate frosting made with powdered sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
