Chocolate and coffee make for a heavenly treat for festivals or parties. In this simple recipe, the coffee enhances the taste of the chocolate and gives the brownie a sophisticated depth of flavor. Coffee lovers will definitely love it!
I found this recipe in one of my recipe books and I have made this delicious brownie several times. They are rich, chocolatey, cakey with a crackly crust.
They taste awesome as is, or perfect with a scoop of ice cream.
Do not overbake. Remove it from the oven even if the top is not cracked or the middle is slightly moist. Overbaking will result in a very dry brownie.
