2. Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dark chocolate chips or chunks (optional, for extra richness)
- Black edible food coloring spray (for aesthetic effect)
3. Step-by-step Instructions for Making Death Note Black Notebook Brownies
Preparing the Batter
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, sift together the dark cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures your brownies will have a smooth, even texture.
Combine wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until you get a uniform batter.
Add chocolate chips
Fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks if using, for an extra rich and gooey consistency.
Color the batter
If you want the iconic black aesthetic, lightly spray or tint some of the batter with black edible food coloring to intensify the darkness of your brownies.
Baking the brownies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking dish using the T-fal Nonstick Cookware Set. Pour the batter into the dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Cooling and finishing touches
Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, spray or brush a light layer of black edible food coloring spray for the ultimate gothic appearance.
4. Storage tips and Serving suggestions
Store your Death Note Black Notebook Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For added flair, serve these dark-themed brownies with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to contrast the darkness with sweetness.
5. The perfect presentation
Enhance your cinematic desserts by plating these brownies on a dark slate or black ceramic plate. Add a few drops of edible silver or white food coloring to mimic moonlit effects, creating a truly mysterious visual presentation reminiscent of gothic or dark cosplay themes.
6. Frequently asked questions about Death Note Black Notebook Brownies
Can I substitute cocoa powder with dark chocolate?
Yes, but be aware that substituting with dark chocolate will alter the texture and richness. Use about 1/2 cup of melted dark chocolate in place of cocoa powder for a different but equally decadent result.

To make them gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free as well.
How long do Death Note Black Notebook Brownies last?
They stay fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature and up to 7 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
