Ingredients
- Brownies
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons coffee extract or 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Coffee Frosting
- 2-4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch baking dish by coating it with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper, followed by a light spray of non-stick spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Once melted, transfer the butter to a large mixing bowl.
- To the bowl with the butter, add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is thoroughly blended.
- Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder to the wet ingredients, and mix until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and place it in the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before starting on the frosting.
- For the frosting, dissolve the instant coffee granules in the heavy whipping cream and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the unsalted butter until it becomes light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined.
- Slowly pour in 2 tablespoons of the coffee-infused cream and mix well. If needed, continue adding more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your preferred consistency.
- Once the frosting is ready, generously spread it over the cooled brownies. Slice and serve to enjoy!
