Coffee Frosted Coffee Brownies

Did you know that coffee cakes means something different in the US compared to the Uk. Here..in America... coffee cake is any cake you eat with a cup of coffee. Back in England it simply a cake that has coffee flavouring! It took me a while to figure that out....

Anyway... coffee flavoured cake is one of my absolute favourites..and I havent tasted it in ten years... but recently I have had a craving for a slice...or two. My hubby loves Brownies... so when I saw this recipe I thought "why not???" Plus...it is my birthday week and I deserve a tasty treat

These brownies are rich, fudgy, and quite delicious... and with coffee in the cake and the icing.. it fed my coffee addiction perfectly



1 Cup butter
4 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
2 Cup sugar
3 Tbsp. instant espresso powder
4 eggs
1 1/2 Cups flour
1/3 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Frosting:
1 Tbsp. instant espresso powder
1 Tbsp. milk
1/2 Cup butter softened
1/4 tsp. salt

  1. I love anything coffee flavored! This sounds great. I'll bet I could find lots of other uses for coffee-flavored frosting, too.
