Description

Coffee Guinness Caramel Brownies are gooey on the inside, crinkly at the top and does not taste like beer - only vanilla, coffee, caramel and chocolate!

Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 11 oz Guinness Extra Stout (or Special Export), 33cl * Read notes!
  • 2/3 cup butter, 150g
  • 10 1/2 oz semi-sweet dark chocolate, 300g
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, optional, for extra chocolateness
  • 1 1/2 tsp instant coffee granules, or 1 tsp espresso powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 300g
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup + 3 tbsp all purpose flour, 150g
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Pour one (or two, read notes*) 11-12 oz bottle into a large saucepan. It can bubble quite a bit. On medium, let this mixture simmer/boil for 30-45 minutes or until one bottle is 1/2 cup or two bottles are 1 cup of reduced Guinness. Let cool 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper sticking out of its sides. Baking pan of 8x12in (20×30 cm), is perfect for me, but if you want taller brownies you can also use a 9×9 or 8×8 inch pan. Pre-heat oven to 350F (175C).
  3. Melt the butter, remove from the stove and let it cool for a couple of minutes before adding 1/2 cup reduced Guinness, instant coffee granules (or espresso powder), and chopped semisweet chocolate, and unsweetened cocoa powder if using. Whisk to combine.
  4. In a large bowl, whip eggs and sugar with a metal whisk. About 2-3 minutes. It should be pale with air bubbles. Whisk in the chocolate butter and vanilla extract.
  5. In smaller increments, add flour into the mixture. Fold, until it’s just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. 
  6. Bake on the middle rack for about 30-35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the cake has a few moist crumbs on it. I bake mine for 32 minutes.
  7. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into it. Serve with vanilla ice cream and a generous drizzle of Guinness Coffee Caramel Sauce.

Notes

* If you are making this Guinness Coffee Caramel Sauce to pour on top of the brownies, reduce two bottles of Guinness instead of one. Reduce down to 1 cup, and use 1/2 in the brownies, and the other 1/2 in the caramel sauce. Super easy caramel and just 10 minutes more work!
