Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for frosting)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
To make the frosting, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
Mix in the brewed coffee, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract until the frosting is fluffy and spreadable.
Spread the mocha frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Slice into squares and serve.
