140 g packed dark brown sugar
200 g granulated sugar

Method
Preheat the oven to 350F.Butter and line a 9-by-13-inch metal baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate over low heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugars, salt, and vanilla. Whisk until the mixture thickens, becomes pale in colour and reaches a creamy consistency.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, and espresso powder into the egg mixture and fold it in quickly but gently with the rubber spatula so that you don’t deflate the air that’s been incorporated into the eggs.
Using a rubber spatula, fold the cooled chocolate into the egg mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake until the top looks slightly cracked and feels soft to the touch, about 25 minutes.
Espresso Cream: — In a large bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. Whisk for about 30 seconds until fully blended.
Add the sugar, salt, vanilla bean paste, and espresso powder. Continue to whisk until soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
Assembly — Spread the espresso cream evenly over the cooled brownies using a spatula to create a smooth layer. Dust the top of the espresso cream with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.Cut into pieces and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
