Description
A recipe for rich brownies topped with a coffee-flavored frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until smooth.
- Stir the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of cooled coffee. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter in a bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the 1/4 cup of cooled coffee. Beat until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Cut into squares.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor in the brownies.
- Ensure the brewed coffee is completely cool before adding it to the batter and the frosting.
- For a richer coffee flavor, you can use instant espresso powder dissolved in the liquid instead of brewed coffee.
