Using Breville stand mixer, combine the dry ingredients: flour, espresso powder, sifted cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, light brown sugar and salt. Whisk until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the remaining wet ingredients and beat until smooth.

Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, and mix until there are no longer any clumps of flour.

Preheat Breville Oven to 175 Deg C.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips and walnuts on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
