Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) Butter
  • 1/3 cup (35g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Espresso Powder
  • 1 cup (200g) Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix in Cocoa and Espresso: Gently melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder and espresso powder until the mixture is smooth and glossy, blending rich coffee and chocolate flavors.
  3. Combine Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy, which helps create a tender crumb in the brownies.
  4. Add the Chocolate-Coffee Mixture: Slowly pour the cooled chocolate and espresso mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine while preserving airiness.
  5. Fold in the Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and salt over the wet batter, then carefully fold them in just until incorporated to maintain a dense but tender texture.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to set properly.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality espresso powder for the best coffee flavor.
  • Fold ingredients gently to avoid developing too much gluten, which can toughen brownies.
  • Slightly underbaking keeps the brownies fudgy and moist.
  • Let brownies cool fully to enhance flavor and firmness.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
