Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp espresso powder
  • 2 tbsp water hot or boiling
  • 1/2 cup butter unsalted, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar granulated
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup flour all-purpose
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar aka powdered sugar or confectioner's sugar
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks divided
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly spray a 9x9" cake pan with cooking spray and line it with a sheet or parchment paper, with excess hanging over the edge.
  • Whisk the espresso powder with the hot water until completely dissolved. Add the butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and prepared espresso to a large mixing bowl and beat until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Sift the flour, powdered sugar, cocoa, and salt into the bowl. Whisk until just combined, then use a spatula to fold the remaining dry ingredients in. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chunks.
  • Spread the batter into your prepared cake pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chunks over top. Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until fully cooked through*. Allow the brownies to cool for about 30 minutes before lifting from the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and slicing.

Notes

*How to tell when your brownies are done: Insert a toothpick into the middle of the pan. It should come out with a few crumbs sticking to it and no batter. Test a few spots in case you get melted chocolate from a chocolate chunk.
