Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 tsp espresso powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  3. Whisk in eggs one at a time, then add espresso powder and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  4. In another bowl, sift together cocoa powder and flour (if using). Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While brownies cool, mix mascarpone cheese with coffee liqueur until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies before slicing.
