1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- For the Chocolate Ganache
300gm semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (or around 2 and a 1/2 cups)

Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C and prepare an 8x8inch baking pan, with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter with coffee powder and the sugars.

- Sift in all the dry ingredients; cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
- Pour in a prepared baking pan and bake for about 25-30minutes.
- After it’s baked, let it cool completely for atleast 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile you can chop the strawberries and make the ganache.
- For the ganache, just heat the heavy cream to a small boil and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 5min and then whisk it until you get a smooth chocolate ganache. Let this cool as well before assembling.
- After the brownie and ganache is cool, put a layer of strawberries on top of the brownie, inside the baking pan.
- Pour ganache on top, let it sit in the fridge until the chocolate sets and then slice up into squares and enjoy!
