Rich, fudgy brownies infused with coffee flavor and topped with a creamy coffee frosting for a decadent treat perfect for coffee and chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee granules
  • 1 tbsp hot water
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee granules (for frosting)
  • 2 tbsp hot water (for frosting)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. Dissolve instant coffee in hot water and stir into the batter.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. For frosting, dissolve coffee in hot water and mix with softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.
  7. Allow brownies to cool completely, then spread frosting evenly on top.
  8. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use espresso powder instead of instant coffee.
  • Do not overbake brownies; they should remain fudgy inside.
  • You can refrigerate frosted brownies for a firmer texture.
  • Optional: add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
