Dark Chocolate Mocha Brownies

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch pan. (I use Pam spray for baking, which has flour in it already.)

2. In a large glass mixing bowl, melt butter in the microwave. About 90 seconds should do it—keep an eye on it. (If you do not have a glass mixing bowl, you can melt the butter separately in a microwave-safe bowl and then transfer to a large mixing bowl to mix with the other ingredients.)

3. Stir sugar, eggs, and vanilla into the melted butter.

4. Gently stir in cocoa, instant coffee (to taste—2 tablespoons will give a richer coffee flavor), flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just blended—do not overmix.

5. Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes.
