Chocolate Brownie Cake

Chocolate Brownie Cake

Soft and cakelike on the inside, yet with a delightfully chewy crust on top, this chocolate brownie cake is excellent for those who like a cakey brownie recipe.  It’s great served a little warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Not only is this the very first recipe I’ve published on my blog, but this is also the first brownie recipe I ever baked from scratch.  It came from Betty Crocker’s Cooking Basics: Learning to Cook with Confidence, which is also where I learned to make hard cooked eggs and oven baked chicken breasts many years ago!

If you’d like to make this chocolate brownie cake a bit fancy, let the it cool completely, then flip it upside down so that the smooth side is facing up.  Lay a doily or some other kind of pattern over the brownie cake, then put some powdered sugar into a mesh strainer and tap it gently over the design.  Carefully lift away the doily.  Voila!  A lovely decoration for your brownie cake!

If cakey isn’t your style (or your mood), try these velvety, fudgy Ultimate Deep Dish Brownies!

    Homemade brownies are the way to go! I just posted my recipe and honestly, they are so easy there is no reason to buy the box mix!

      That’s just what I think, too. I spent years using boxed mixes, and then when I made them from scratch, I thought, “Why didn’t I do this earlier?”

      A little bit of sweet to round off the savory!
