Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking tin with parchment paper.
- Gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whisk the sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is thick and glossy.
- Sift in the flour and espresso powder, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin and spread it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone, vanilla extract, and icing sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the mascarpone topping over the brownie layer and smooth it out gently. Swirl with a knife if desired for a marbled effect.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the tin. Dust with cocoa powder before slicing and serving.
