I made these on election day and friends and co-workers loved the hint of orange and the sparkle of heat from a pinch of cayenne pepper. Hazelnuts are a star in these brownies, but walnuts can be substituted.

Time 1h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate
½ cup butter
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 eggs, slightly beaten
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or amount to taste
½ teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter 8 inch square baking pan.
  • Melt unsweetened chocolate, semisweet chocolate, and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in brown sugar, white sugar, and honey; mix until sugar is dissolved. Beat in eggs, a little at a time. Add flour, salt, baking powder, vanilla, hazelnuts, cayenne pepper, and orange zest. Stir until blended well and mixture is glossy. Pour batter evenly into pan.
  • Bake until the surface looks dry and a toothpick inserted in the center has just a film of chocolate on it, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack about 12 minutes and cut into squares while still warm.

I'm not a fan of coffee, but I loved these brownies. The coffee flavor is very subtle.

I've tried many brownie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The secret ingredient, coffee, gives them a rich, complex flavor that is simply irresistible.
