Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Batter
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free flour can be used for a gluten-free option.
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Dutch-processed cocoa may alter the taste slightly.
  • 1 tablespoon Coffee Extract/Instant Coffee For a stronger taste, opt for espresso powder.

  • 2 large Eggs Binds the mixture and contributes to overall structure.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps brownies rise slightly.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances all flavors.
For the Frosting

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Frosted Coffee Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until liquid. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Blend until thick and uniform.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. While cooling the brownies, prepare the frosting by dissolving instant coffee in heavy whipping cream. Beat unsalted butter until fluffy, then gradually add powdered sugar and coffee cream until smooth.
  6. Once cooled, frost the brownies evenly and allow to set. Slice into squares and serve.
