How to Make Texas Brownies
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour an 8.5 x 11 inch jelly roll pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 cups granulated sugar.
- In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup vegetable shortening, 1 cup strong brewed coffee, and 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Stir constantly and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Gradually pour the boiling chocolate mixture over the flour and sugar mixture, stirring constantly until well combined.
- Add 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Mix well using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer on high speed until batter is smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the brownies bake, prepare the frosting: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup milk.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until butter and cocoa are melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 3 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, immediately pour the warm frosting evenly over the top.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
