To Prepare the Brownie Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar until well mixed.

- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee granules.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
To Prepare the Topping
- In a medium bowl, beat softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined.
- Stir in heavy cream, dissolved coffee granules, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.
To Assemble

Notes
For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of instant coffee granules in both the brownie and frosting. Ensure the brownies are fully cooled before applying the frosting for best results.
