-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in cocoa until smooth; remove from the heat and let cool, about 15 minutes.

Combine remaining 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
-
Add sugar and vanilla to cooled flour-water mixture; mix with an electric mixer until well combined. Add cocoa mixture and mix until incorporated. Add dry flour mixture and stir until just blended; fold in walnuts. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool before cutting into 20 squares.
