Cake Brownies

My mother brought home a brand new cook book which led to me making brownies.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 up sugar
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup milk
• Splash of coffee
• Fudge Frosting (recipe below)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 15 x 10 x 1 pan.
   
2. In a pan heat sugar, butter, and cocoa powder. Stir and combine until the butter is melted. Then remove from heat. Add Eggs and vanilla, with a wooden spoon combine. -Should you want to add the splash of coffee now would be the time. Coffee really brings out the chocolate flavor of the sauce.
3. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and baking soda.
   
4. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to the chocolate mixture, beating and combining each time. The mixture is going to be a bit thinner than normal brownie mix.
   
5. Bake for 20 minutes!When they come out they'll be nice and gooey and light. Like a cake but more dense.
   
   
6. Let cool for 2 hours (I know It sounds long but good things come to those that wait). Spread the chocolate fudge frosting on top. Cut and enjoy!

Ingredients for Frosting:

• 4 3/4 cups of sifted confectioners sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 1/3 cup of boiling water
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla

1. Combined powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add butter, boiling water, and vanilla. Beat with an electric beater on low speed till combined. Beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Cool for 20 to 30 minutes or till the frosting looks spreadable.
2. Put on top of cake brownies and enjoy.

These brownies are light and chewier than Brownies but more dense than cake, either way they're absolutely addicting.
