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
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) (top & bottom heat, no fan). Line a 20x30 cm (8x12 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!
Tips:
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!
