Step-by-Step Instructions for Frosted Coffee Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch baking dish.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and let it cool slightly.
  3. Combine granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract with the melted butter. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; fold until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes; a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Allow brownies to cool completely in the baking dish.
  7. Dissolve instant coffee granules in heavy cream and mix with whipped butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
  8. Frost cooled brownies with coffee frosting and slice into squares to serve.
