Cashew Brownies Recipe

Preheat oven to 350F. In a saucepan over medium heat melt butter. Add cocoa and mix well. Add sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved and blended. Transfer to a bowl. Add eggs, one at a time and, with an electric mixer, beat well after each addition. Beat in flour, baking powder, and vanilla. Fold in nuts and pour into a lightly oiled or sprayed 7 1/2- by 11 3/4 -inch baking dish. Bake until toothpick comes out clean when tested in the center, 40 to 45 minutes.

Remove from oven and let stand on rack 10 minutes; then cut into 2-inch squares. Remove from pan while warm and place on a rack to cool. Do not leave in pan. To store for several days, wrap in foil.
