- 1 cup of Sucanat or Palm Sugar (165g)
- ¼ cup of Strong Hot Coffee
- ¼ cup of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (30g)
- 2 Eggs
- ½ teaspoon of Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoon of Kosher Salt

Instructions
For the Brownie
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease an 8×8 baking pan and line with parchment paper.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature. You may run them under warm water for about 10 seconds while shelled.
- Gently melt the semisweet chocolate and butter in a double boiler. You may use the microwave at 50% heat at 30 second intervals with intermittent stirring.
- Stir in the coffee and unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Measure the sugar and coconut flour and add to a food processor. Give a few pulses to make a superfine texture.
- Sift together the superfine coconut flour, sugar, tapioca flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Beat the eggs and add the dry ingredients. Beat until combined
- Add the rest of the wet ingredients and beat until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the lined 8×8 pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350F until a toothpick inserted into the center of the batter comes out clean.
- When done, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes.
For the Mocha Frosting
- Measure the sugar and add to the food processor. Give a few pulses to make a superfine texture.
- Gently heat the sugar with the ¼ cup of melted butter and coffee until dissolved or mostly dissolved.
- Refrigerate the mixture for a few hours. It will look terrible at this stage, but don’t despair. It is beneficial, but not necessary, to mix every now and then while cooling.
- When the mixture is cold enough, beat in the softened butter 1T at a time on high speed. I find the hand mixer best for this task.
