1⅓ cups flour
¾ cup cocoa powder

- Pour the chocolate mixture into a greased baking dish.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven at 170˚C for about 40 minutes until set.
- While the brownies cool, make the frosting by first sifting the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl.

- Whilst the brownies are still a little warm, pour the icing over the top of the brownies and allow to set.
