How to Make Glazed Espresso Brownies

  1. Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Lightly butter the foil.
  3. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 6 ounces of unsweetened chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder, 2 tablespoons Kahlúa, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  7. Gradually beat in the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined.
  8. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  12. While the brownies cool, prepare the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ⅓ cup heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
  13. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the glaze is smooth.
  14. Pour the glaze over the cooled brownies and spread evenly.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
  16. Let stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving for optimal taste and texture.
  17. Use the foil overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
  18. Cut into bars and serve.
