Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) pan with overhanging parchment paper.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat with the sugars. Use a heat-resistant spatula or a wire whisk to mix. At first, the liquefied butter will settle over the sugar Keep stirring until the sugar and butter have completely combined. The sugar will still be somewhat granular, but it will have incorporated the butter into a single, smooth mass. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.

Add both chocolates. Whisk until smooth.

Add the eggs and whisk until the mixture is thick and shiny.

Add the vanilla, salt and optional dissolved coffee granules. Mix to blend.

Add the flour and whisk only until smooth.

Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes only. The center will puff and the edges will appear glossy and firm. The center may appear soft underneath the surface, which is fine. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until firm.
