Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2: Melt Chocolate and Butter
-
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Mix in the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder.
-
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Bake
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 6: Cool and Slice
-
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out onto a cutting board. Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
