Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the orange zest, vanilla extract, and orange juice until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- For the cream cheese frosting, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
