Coffee and walnut brownie

I winged this recipe for a mate's going away party. It was quite well received since it had a good combination of flavours, coffee and walnut, chocolate and coffee, chocolate and walnut, why not all the above?

Coffee and walnut brownie

Ingredients:
200g of dark chocolate
100g of butter
1-2 tablespoons of instant coffee or shots of expresso
2 eggs
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1/2 cup of plain flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste
Hot water


1. Melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of hot water. Line a brownie tray with baking paper and set the oven to 150C.

I swear I have like five copies of this photo on my blog
2. Allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes, add in eggs, sugar, vanilla bean paste until just combined.

So glossy

3. Dissolve the coffee in bit of hot water and add to the mixture.

Shiny shiny
4. Sift in the flour and mix lightly until fully incorporated.

Nice and thick
5. Mix the walnuts into the brownie mixture or scatter them at the bottom of the pan before the brownie mixture goes on top.

This?

Or this?
6. Bake at 150C for an hour and allow to cool before slicing.
