Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar; whisk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
In another bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture; stir until just combined.
Pour brownie batter into a greased 9×13 inch pan and bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
For the mousse, melt semisweet chocolate with milk over low heat until smooth; cool slightly. Whip chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form; gradually add powdered sugar while whipping.
Fold melted chocolate into whipped cream until combined. Spread mousse over cooled brownies and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
