Ingredients

  • 200 grams unsalted butter
  • 2 ¼ cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • 200 grams chocolate chips or 200 grams grated or finely chopped cooking chocolate
  • 1 cup Dulche De Leche Recipe to make Dulce De Leche linked in the recipe notes below

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350 F. Line a 9" x 13" pan with either aluminum foil or baking paper (NOT wax paper). The foil / paper should be large enough to cover the hang from the edges. This will act as handles to take the brownies out later.
  • In a saucepan set over low heat melt the butter. Once butter is melted, add sugar to combine. Keep heat on low and keep stirring with a whisk every 30 seconds or so till the mixture is hot but not bubbling; it will become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating the mixture to this point will dissolve more of the sugar and produce a shiny top crust on your brownies. Whisking helps in dissolving more sugar.
  • Once the butter and sugar mixture is at the right temperature turn off heat and then set aside. The mixture should not bubble otherwise it can caramelize or burn.
  • Meanwhile, crack 4 eggs into a bowl. Add cocoa, salt, baking powder, coffee powder and vanilla. Beat for about 3 - 4 minutes on low speed till mixed together well. Make sure to stop the beater, and scrape the bowl with a spatula to ensure that it is mixed properly. 
  • Add the hot butter/sugar mixture to the egg/cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth. Add the flour, folding it in with a spatula. Once the flour is mixed, add the chocolate chips and fold together. 
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared 9" x 13" pan. Top with spoonfuls dulche de leche and lightly swirl with a knife. 
  • Bake the brownies for about 30 – 40 minutes minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
  • The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not under-cooked. Additionally, there will be little dots of melted caramel in the brownies.
  • Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.
