Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp brewed coffee, cooled

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  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 after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and brewed coffee.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. 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.
  6. Beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar while continuing to beat. Mix in the vanilla extract and brewed coffee until smooth.
  7. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

[‘Use cooled coffee to avoid altering the texture of the batter.’, ‘Don’t overmix the batter to keep the brownies fudgy.’, ‘Refrigerate the brownies for 30 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.’, ‘For extra fudgy brownies, bake them slightly less—around 28 minutes instead of 30.’]
