Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (113 grams)
  • 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 (about 240 grams)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (about 75 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch baking dish by coating it with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper, then lightly spray the parchment for easy removal.
  2. Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl using the microwave. Once melted, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Stir well until thoroughly blended.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder into the wet mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth and fully combined. Stir in the coffee extract or instant coffee to infuse the coffee flavor into the batter.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool Completely: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  7. Prepare Coffee Cream: Dissolve the instant coffee granules in 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream, setting aside for use in the frosting.
  8. Make Frosting Base: In a separate bowl, beat the unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly to combine.
  9. Add Coffee Cream: Slowly pour the coffee-infused cream into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well. If the frosting is too thick, add additional cream 1 tablespoon at a time until reaching the desired consistency.
  10. Frost and Serve: Spread the frosting generously over the cooled brownies. Slice into portions and serve to enjoy a delightful coffee-infused treat.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute coffee extract with instant coffee granules for a stronger coffee flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of heavy cream in the frosting to achieve your preferred thickness.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate.
  • For an intense mocha flavor, sprinkle a little cocoa powder or espresso powder over the frosting before serving.
