Mudslide Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup unsalted butter
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons Kahlua
2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
1 tablespoon vodka
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons Kahlua
whole coffee beans (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
Combine butter and chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water; stir until both are melted and combined then set aside to cool.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, whisk the eggs with the sugar until frothy and a pale yellow color.
Add in the dry ingredients, melted chocolate mixture, liquers and vodka and combine; fold in the nuts if you are using them.
Pour batter into a greased 13x9 inch pan and bake in the preheated 350 degree F oven for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool brownies in the pan.
Prepare the Kahlua Glaze by whisking the powdered sugar and 3 Tbsp Kahlua in a bowl until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the cool brownies while still in the pan.
Garnish with the coffee beans, if desired.
Cut into squares and serve.
