Cake
Description
This recipe won't take much time. Brownie cake is the most popular homemade cake in America. The reasons for brownie cake's wild popularity are clear and obvious: the cake is fairly simple to make (of course, not as easy as frying eggs, but still—well within the abilities of the average home cook), and the result is—well, words simply can't do justice to how delicious it is. So I think I won't indulge in wordy flourishes or hunt for adjectives for this cake; I'll just show you a simple brownie cake recipe so you can make this treat yourself and discover its flavor. And if you've already tried brownies—you don't need anyone to explain how good they are ;) Good luck with your baking! ;) Serve with tea or coffee.
