How to Make Easy Frosted Dark Chocolate Brownies With Mocha Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Let the brownies cool slightly before frosting. Spread the mocha frosting evenly over the warm brownies.
- Let the frosting set for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
