Ingredients

• 300 g dark chocolate, melted (warm, not hot)
• 180 g flour
• 10 g baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee
• 150 g butter at room temperature
• 4 eggs
• 150 g sugar

Topping:

• 100 g chocolate chips

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) (top & bottom heat, no fan). Line a 20×30 cm (8×12 inch) baking pan with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
• Gradually mix in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee.
• Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until a smooth batter forms.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the surface develops small cracks and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Right after removing the brownies from the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top, let them melt, then spread them evenly with a spatula.
• Cool, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

• If your butter isn’t at room temperature, melt it together with the chocolate.
• If using sweetened chocolate, reduce the sugar by at least 50g (¼ cup).
• You can add nuts, hazelnuts, or mini marshmallows for extra texture!
