- 110g All-Purpose Flour (For structure)

Crafting Your Chocolate Masterpiece:
- Oven Prelude: Fire up your oven to a cozy 350°F. Grab your trusty cast iron skillet and lovingly butter it up.
- Melting Magic: In a saucepan, gently melt the butter, dark chocolate, and instant coffee over medium heat. Once melted, let it whisper secrets of chocolate to the side.
- Egg Sugar Ballet: In a separate realm (aka mixing bowl), beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer. Aim for a high-speed dance for about 8 minutes until it’s light and frothy.
- Chocolate Cascade: Introduce the melted chocolate mixture to the egg-sugar mix. Blend them on low speed, creating a union of flavors.
- Dry Ingredient Waltz: With a gentle hand, fold in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the batter, ensuring they’re fully incorporated without overmixing.
- Skillet Serenade: Pour this rich, chocolaty batter into the prepared skillet, smoothing out the top to create an even layer.
- Water Bath Wonders: Place your skillet in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan halfway with water, creating a comforting bath for your brownie.
- Baking Bliss: Slide the ensemble into the oven and bake for a tantalizing 30 minutes.
- Resting Ritual: After baking, let your skillet brownie rest at room temperature for 5 minutes – it’s worth the wait!
- Serve with Love: Pair this divine creation with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra layer of indulgence.
