In an 8x8 inch baking pan, prepare for baking.

Melt 3/4 cup (90g) of dark chocolate (55%-70%).

In a mixing bowl, combine melted chocolate and 3/4 cup (170g) of butter.

Add 1 tsp of instant espresso powder and mix well.

Stir in 1 cup of sugar until combined.

Add 3 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Mix in 1 tsp (5g) of vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp of salt.

Add 1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until incorporated.

Fold in 3/4 cup (95g) of flour until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes.

Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs sticking to it.
