Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 22

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted but not hot
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts, plus more for topping
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon brewed coffee or 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder plus 1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Pinch kosher salt
Sprinkles, for topping

Steps:

For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, allowing 1-inch wings to hang over the edges.
Whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, cardamom, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the butter, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly (it will be quite a thin layer). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then lift out of the pan and place on the rack to cool completely.
For the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, butter, coffee, honey, vanilla, cardamom and salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
Pour the glaze on the cooled brownie, spread it around and top with walnuts and sprinkles. Let dry, then cut into squares.

Yield Makes about 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus butter for the pan
2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus flour for the pan
3 ounces 72% cacao chocolate
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground espresso beans, or instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease the sides and bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with butter and coat lightly with flour.
2. Melt the chocolate and the 8 tablespoons butter in a small bowl over a pot of barely simmering water. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is fluffy and pale yellow. Whisk in the espresso, cardamom, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
3. Remove the melted chocolate and butter from the heat and stir with a rubber spatula. Then very slowly add the chocolate to the egg mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Sift the 2/3 cup flour into the batter and mix well.
4. Pour the brownie batter into the greased pan and use a rubber spatula to scrape out all that chocolate goodness. This is the part where I usually lick the spatula if no one is looking. Bake the brownies in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. You can check for doneness by sticking a toothpick right in the middle. If it comes out clean, you're only seconds away from chocolate heaven. Cool the brownies before cutting.
