Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Melt the chocolate, caramel and butter in a double boiler then mix well. Keep warm.
  • In the meantime, pour the flour, cocoa, coffee, and salt in a big bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  • Mix the eggs and sugar at high speed with an electric mixer for about 2-3 minutes, until you get a light and foamy texture.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture with the egg and combine at medium speed until homogenous. Then, add the flour mixture, the beer and nuts and continue to mix until combined.
  • Cover a 9×13 edged baking pan with parchment paper. Pour in the mixture and sprinkle it with chocolate chips. Sprinkle fleur de sel to your liking.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely. Cut and enjoy! Can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days. I think it was even better the day after and slightly chilled!
