OTHER CAKES: Brownies are most people's favourite. Please give my variations of this popular dessert a try.



BROWNIES:

 

 


2 squares of unsweetened chocolate                                       

½ cup butter

2 eggs                                                                                     

1 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract                                                                

1/8 tsp. salt

½ cup sifted all purpose flour                                                 

½ cup chopped walnuts

 

 

 


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow to cool.

 

Beat eggs; then gradually beat in sugar until mixture is fluffy and thick. Stir in chocolate mixture and vanilla. Fold in flour and salt until well blended. Stir in walnuts. Spread mixture evenly in a greased 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan. Bake 30 minutes or until done. Remove   from oven and cool on rack. Cut into squares to serve.
