Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Measure and have all your ingredients ready to ensure quick and smooth mixing.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine with Coffee: Gently melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the espresso powder until it dissolves completely, infusing the butter with rich coffee flavor.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients Separately: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the dry components and flavors.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy. Gradually stir the coffee-infused butter into the egg mixture, blending well.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined to maintain a tender and fudgy texture. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to enrich the flavors and texture.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and espresso powder for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overbake; remove brownies when toothpick shows moist crumbs for ideal fudginess.
  • Let brownies cool fully to allow flavors to set and intensify.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better blending and volume.
  • Mix the batter gently to avoid tough brownies.
