Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, salt, and cocoa powder together.
3. Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler, until completely smooth. Allow to cool, the mixture should be at room temperature.
4. Beat the eggs with sugar, espresso, and vanilla extract, until foamy. Dust the flour and cocoa mixture on top and mix gently to obtain a smooth texture.
5. Pour chocolate/butter mixture over the eggs/flour mix and fold using a rubber spatula until smooth. Do not overwork the dough, otherwise, the brownie will be too cakey. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes at 350°F (180°C), rotating the pan halfway through baking time. The tip of a knife inserted into the center should come out almost clean, with a few moist crumbs sticking to it.
7. Allow the brownie to cool down, then lift out of the pan using the edges of parchment paper. Dust with confectioner sugar if you want. Cut into squares and serve.
