Fudgy Wudgy!
I love these brownies, they are cakey, fudgy, wudgy, yes, I am making up words. You will too once you try these brownies.
Rule number one of baking, you must, I mean must use the best ingredients available. Real butter, great eggs, the best chocolate and please, people please use real vanilla.
Ms. Martha showed me, well not me personally, but she showed the world that using cocoa powder instead of flour when baking chocolate cakes works. And "it's a good thing" Martha, it did work, I never doubted that it would not turn out perfect.
The brownies have cooled, it's time to eat them all up!
