Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 9 inch pan with foil; spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Brownies:
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
Set a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (pan should not be touching the water). Place butter and chocolate chips in the bowl; stir until melted and smooth; remove from heat; let cool a bit.
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, mix sugar, eggs and 1/2 c. Kahlua; pour in buttery chocolate mixture; beat until well mixed. Mix in dry ingredients; beat just until combined.
Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake 40 - 45 minutes, or until top cracks slightly and a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. If it is slightly gooey on the bottom of the toothpick, that's alright. Remove brownies from the oven. Immediately brush warm brownies with 2 T. Kahlua. Let the brownies cool completely. Refrigerate them after they have cooled down a little.
Icing:
Place butter in a saucepan; heat until lightly browned; remove from heat; add Kahlua and whipping cream; whisk in the powdered sugar until the desired consistency is reached. Look for a thick, smooth icing that is still pourable. Pour icing on top of the cooled brownies; spread to the edges to cover completely. Refrigerate until set.
Refrigerated brownies are easy to cut using a large, sharp knife, wiping clean after each cut.
