Step 1

Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat until it starts to lightly brown and smell nutty. Turn off the heat, immediately stir in the instant coffee powder, then add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until completely smooth and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the room-temperature eggs and finely ground sugar. Whisk vigorously with a mixer for about 8 minutes until the mixture expands, becomes pale, and the sugar grains have almost entirely dissolved.

Step 3

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and fine salt together. Gently pour the warm chocolate-butter mixture and vanilla into the whipped eggs, folding smoothly. Then gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients just until combined — do not overmix.

Step 4

Fold in the chocolate chips and toasted walnuts. Pour into a lined 22x22 cm square baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for exactly 20 minutes — the center should still have a slight wobble. As soon as it comes out of the oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cool completely before slicing.
