Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), greasing an 8-inch baking dish.
Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
In a large bowl, mix melted butter with granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder; then combine with wet ingredients until just mixed.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, mix instant coffee granules with heavy cream; beat softened butter until fluffy, then gradually add powdered sugar and the coffee mixture until desired consistency is reached.
Frost the cooled brownies and enjoy!
