<h3>Ingredients We Need</h3>

<b>Wet ingredients</b>

- Unsalted butter: 110 g

- Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or similar): 140 g

- Eggs: 3 large

- Sugar: 120 g

<b>Dry ingredients</b>

- All-purpose flour: 100 g

- Cocoa powder: 5 g

- Salt: 3 g

<b>Optional Flavor Booster</b>

- Instant coffee powder: 1 g

<h3>Instructions</h3>

<b>Prepare the Chocolate Base</b>

Place the butter, chopped dark chocolate, and optional coffee powder in a heat-safe bowl. Microwave gently for about a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.

<b>Mix Eggs and Sugar</b>

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.

<b>Prepare Dry Ingredients</b>

Combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in another bowl, mixing evenly.

<b>Combine Everything</b>

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, then pour this mixture into the melted chocolate base. Stir until the batter is smooth and glossy.

<b>Fold Gently</b>

Use a spatula to fold the batter gently until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing to maintain a soft, moist texture.

<b>Prepare the Baking Pan</b>

Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly butter it. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.

<b>Bake the Brownie</b>

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and bake for 18–20 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick: a few moist crumbs indicate perfection, wet batter needs more time, and a completely clean toothpick means it is slightly overbaked.

<b>Cool and Cut</b>

Allow the brownies to cool until warm, then cut into squares that show a crisp top and soft, moist center.

<h3>Serving Suggestion</h3>

Enjoy the brownie as it is or pair it with fresh fruit or a simple drink. The flavor becomes even richer after resting a few hours, making it an ideal make-ahead dessert.
