Rich Coffee Brownies (Printable Version)

Fudgy brownies with a bold coffee twist, topped with smooth coffee-infused frosting.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Brownie Batter

01 - 113 grams unsalted butter
02 - 200 grams granulated sugar
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
05 - 33 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
06 - 64 grams all-purpose flour
07 - 1.5 grams salt
08 - 1.25 grams baking powder
09 - 3 grams instant coffee granules

→ Coffee Frosting

10 - 113 grams unsalted butter
11 - 240 grams powdered sugar
12 - 30-60 milliliters heavy whipping cream
13 - 3 grams instant coffee granules

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C and grease an 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper and then spray.
02 - Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl using short intervals until fully liquid.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until the mixture is uniform and smooth.
04 - Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check; it should come out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
05 - Allow the baked brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
06 - Dissolve the instant coffee granules into the heavy whipping cream and set aside.
07 - Beat the unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing until fully incorporated. Add 30 ml of the coffee cream mixture and beat until combined. Add more cream one tablespoon at a time, adjusting to desired consistency.
08 - Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Slice into squares and serve.
09 - Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer preservation.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Increase instant coffee granules to intensify coffee flavor.
02 - Adjust heavy cream quantity in frosting to reach preferred spreadability.
03 - Properly cooled brownies ensure frosting does not melt upon application.
