Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt butter and dark chocolate together in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until silky smooth.
  3. Whisk in sugar and espresso until the mixture looks glossy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each to create a shiny, thick batter.
  5. Sift in flour and cocoa powder, folding gently to keep the batter rich and dense.
  6. Pour into the pan and bake for 25–28 minutes until the center is just set.
Topping Preparation
  1. Cool completely before spreading the mascarpone layer.
  2. Make the tiramisu cream: whisk mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a splash of espresso until creamy.
  3. Spread evenly over the cooled brownies and chill for at least 1 hour.
  4. Dust with cocoa powder before slicing into squares.
