Espresso Brownies Recipe by Hazel Sheehan

This espresso brownies recipe from Hazel Sheehan is perfect for coffee and dessert lovers as it bring them together to make a delicious treat.

Ingredients:

The Brownie Batter
75g good coco powder
120g self-raising flour
¼ tsp of salt
½ tsp baking powder
150g butter
175g good quality dark chocolate
2 eggs
125ml hot coffee
400g caster sugar

Espresso Buttercream
227g pack of unsalted butter at room temperature and very soft
450g (plus more if needed) sifted icing sugar
60ml (or to taste) cold, strong coffee
2 tbsp of full fat cream

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 350F, 180C (160C fan) or Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 9×13’ pan with some parchment/greaseproof paper. You could half this recipe if you like- just use a square 8×8’ pan instead.
2. Sift the coco, flour, salt and baking powder together.
3. In a separate bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together. You can do this in the microwave or over a pot of boiling water on the stove.
4. Add the sugar and the eggs to the melted butter chocolate combination and mix until combined. Add the vanilla, mix.
5. Add the wet mix to the dry mix and pour in the hot coffee. Mix until fully combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven.
7. Remove the pan from oven, and allow stand until cool. In the meantime, make the buttercream.
8. Mix the butter, cream and half the icing sugar on a low speed until fully mixed. Add in the cold coffee to your taste. 
9. Add the rest of the icing sugar, and mix until the colour has gone paler. You should have a thick but spreadable frosting. Leave at room temperature until you are ready to use it.
10. Spread the buttercream all over the top of the brownies, when they have cooled down and cut into squares. Enjoy!
