Ingredients
Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8 baking dish with foil.
2
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes, then melt in a microwave-safe bowl for 45 seconds.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
4
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the flour mixture, and mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, and press it evenly into the bottom.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden.
7
Once the cake is done, the middle will still be gooey, but rest assured that it's ready.
8
Allow the cake to cool completely, and then let it rest for at least 1 hour before removing the foil from the pan and cutting into squares.
