Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Once the chocolate mixture is lukewarm, gently fold it into the egg and sugar mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract, instant coffee, and cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the leavening agents are evenly distributed for a consistent rise.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can lead to tough brownies.

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished brownies out easily.
  • Fold in the walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. The edges should be set, and the top will have a slightly crackled appearance.
  • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
