Ingredients

450gm (1 lb) plus 340gm (12 oz) milk chocolate chips, divided
4 tbsps instant coffee granules
500gm (2¼ cups) sugar
175gm (6 oz) unsweetened chocolate
450gm (1 lb) unsalted butter
310ml (1¼ cups) all-purpose flour, divided
7 extra-large eggs
2 tbsps pure vanilla essence
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
195ml (¾ cup) smooth peanut butter

Method of Preparation

* Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 12 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.
* Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water.

*  Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar.
* Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
* In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the remaining 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, and then add them to the chocolate batter.
* Pour into the prepared sheet pan. Spoon the peanut butter over the top of the chocolate mixture and using a knife, swirl it through the chocolate mixture.
* Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough.
* Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes more or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into large squares.
Now the chocolate cake is prepared.
