Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and brewed espresso.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  6. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the brewed espresso, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt, then beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  7. Once the brownies are cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

For perfectly clean slices, chill the frosted brownies for 15 minutes before cutting. Adjust the espresso flavor in the frosting to suit your taste.
