Brownies Lemon Mengkilap

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Add ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
3. Combine ¾ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons lemon zest in a small bowl with a spoon or a fork to allow the zest to release its oils into the sugar.
4. Add ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and the lemon sugar to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until combined.
5. Add 2 large eggs and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Remove and let the brownies cool completely.
7. Once they are fully cooled, make the glaze by adding ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest to a small bowl and whisking together.
8. Use a spoon or an offset spatula to spread the glaze evenly over the cooled brownies.
