Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 ⅓ cups (157 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (168 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
Frosting
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons whole milk, or heavy cream
Instructions
Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch metal baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- To a large bowl, add cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, add butter and sugar. Once the butter has melted, bring it to a low boil and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally or until it reaches 230°F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla until completely melted. (The mixture may still be grainy.) Let cool for about 10 minutes.
- When ready, add eggs, one at a time, stirring constantly until smooth.
- To the flour mixture, add the chocolate mixture. Mix until JUST combined.
- Spread the batter into the baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until slightly puffed.
- While the brownies are baking, make the frosting.
Frosting
- In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), combine room temperature butter, cocoa powder, honey, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar.
- With the mixer on low speed, combine the ingredients for about 30 seconds.
- Slowly add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. You may not need all 3 tablespoons, or you may need 1 more. It can vary from season to season and kitchen to kitchen.
- Spread the frosting over the warm brownies.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting and serving.
