7 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup coffee strong
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350. Prep a large 11x17 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and sugar.
  3. 3
    Heat butter, shortening, coffee, and cocoa in a saucepan until boiling, making sure to stir frequently to keep from scorching. Pour boiling mixture over flour/sugar mixture.
  4. 4
    Next add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Mix well with a hand mixer or large spoon, until smooth. Pour batter into baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a fork inserted in the middle comes out cleanly.
  5. 5
    While cooling, prepare glaze.
  6. 6
    In a sauce pot (I use the same pot from earlier) heat butter, cocoa powder and milk until boiling, stirring constantly to keep from scorching. Turn off heat and add powdered sugar, a little at a time - stirring after each addition to blend well. I use a wire whisk to mix evenly.
  7. 7
    Pour hot glaze over brownies and allow to cool.
