Put 2 tablespoons of instant coffee in my chocolate cake and my sister said it tasted like a grown up brownie
I was out of espresso powder on Saturday, so I dumped in 2 tablespoons of plain old Folgers and baked it at 350 for 28 minutes, and now my whole family wants that version at every birthday. Has anyone else messed with instant coffee in baked stuff, and did you cut the sugar at all?

Two tablespoons of Folgers turning your family into coffee snobs is peak chaos. You went from "oops no espresso powder" to "head chef of the grown up brownie division" in one bake. Instant coffee is a sneaky little cheat code because it dissolves right in, no gritty bits like you'd get from grounds. Cutting the sugar depends on how dark your cocoa is, but a spoon less usually works fine since the coffee amps up that bitter sweet thing. Just be ready to stock Folgers forever now, because there's no going back.
