1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan, then stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the brewed coffee and mix into the batter.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely.
- Beat the mascarpone cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the mascarpone layer evenly over the cooled brownies.

Notes
Allow brownies to cool fully before adding mascarpone to prevent melting.
Instant espresso can be used instead of coffee granules.
Chill briefly for cleaner slices.
Add chocolate shavings for extra texture if desired.
