A decadent, fudgy brownie recipe passed down through generations, featuring a genius secret ingredient—strong brewed coffee—that enhances the chocolate flavor, making these brownies unforgettable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Strong brewed coffee (secret ingredient!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugar
    In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. This is important for light, airy brownies.
  3. Add the Eggs
    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly between each addition.
  4. Mix the Dry Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the Secret Ingredient
    Stir in the cup of strong brewed coffee until smooth. The coffee intensifies the chocolate flavor.
  6. Bake the Brownies
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Notes

  • For the best texture, let the brownies cool before cutting them.
  • You can top with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup for an extra indulgent treat.
  • If you’re not a fan of coffee, you can substitute it with hot water.
