Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.

Make the brownie batter

  • Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  • Sift in cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold until just combined.

Bake

  • Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Don't overbake.

Cool and soak

  • Let brownies cool for 10 minutes, then poke small holes across the surface and brush with cooled espresso.

Make the mascarpone layer

  • Beat mascarpone and powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable.
  • Taste and add a teaspoon of espresso if a stronger coffee note is desired.

Assemble

  • Spread the mascarpone mixture over the cooled, coffee-soaked brownies. Chill for at least 1 hour to set.

Finish

  • Dust generously with cocoa powder just before serving.

Notes

Measure gluten-free flour correctly. Use room-temperature eggs and don't overmix for the best texture. Chill before slicing for cleaner pieces.
