Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Step 4: Gradually add the cooled coffee to the batter, mixing until just combined.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Store leftover Coffee Slice airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- For a warm, gooey treat, microwave individual slices for 15-20 seconds, or until heated through.
- Serve Coffee Slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent indulgence.
- To avoid a dry slice, ensure your coffee is completely cool before adding it to the batter; the cold liquid prevents the gluten from developing too much.
