Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. Melt ½ cup of butter, then stir in 1 cup of sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Whisk together ¾ cup of flour, ½ cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of espresso powder.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
  7. In a mixing bowl, whip together 1 cup of mascarpone cheese and ½ cup of heavy cream until fluffy.
  8. Sift in ½ cup of powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
  9. Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the cooled brownie base.
