- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 1/4 cup hot water

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.

- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra teaspoon of instant coffee to the frosting.
