Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

0.5 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Café Latte Frosting:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)

4 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons brewed espresso (cooled)

2 tablespoons milk (or cream for a richer flavor)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy brownie removal.

    Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: Once cooled, add the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

            Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

              Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, brewed espresso, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed until combined. Increase speed and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

                Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies have cooled completely, spread the café latte frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.

                  Dust (Optional): If desired, dust the top with some cocoa powder for a touch of elegance.

                    Cut and Serve: Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your decadent café latte frosted mocha brownies!
