Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 56 grams butter (for frosting)
- 120 grams powdered sugar
- 10 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and instant coffee granules until well mixed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool completely in the pan.
While the chocolate bites cool, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy.
Sift in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, then add the instant coffee granules, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is light and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
Once the chocolate bites have cooled, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Spread the mocha frosting evenly over the top.
Cut into 16 small squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
