Ingredients

1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tablespoon coffee extract
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed

Instructions

In a bowl, sift together flour and baking powder.
In a heat proof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine butter, cocoa and coffee extract. Cook, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes or until melted. Remove bowl from heat and allow to cool.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, salt, sugar, and brown sugar. With an electric mixer on low speed, beat until thickened.
Add cocoa mixture gradually, beating slowly until blended.
Gently fold in flour mixture to the cocoa mixture.
Pour batter into a greased 8-inch baking dish and bake in a 350 F oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until top begins to puff and center is just set.
Remove from oven and set on a wire rack to cool. Cut into servings.

Notes

The original recipe called for 1/4 teaspoon coffee extract and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. I made my own coffee extract, added more than what was called for and did not add the vanilla.
