Speaking of cake....

Today I made brownies. This is an adaptation of the Ghirardelli Award-Winning Brown Recipe, with a couple of twists.

You will need:
2 eggs
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup Ghirardelli sweet ground chocolate and cocoa powder
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (I actually used 1/3 all-purpose, 1/3 whole wheat)
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
*Using a spoon, stir the eggs with the sugar;
*Add the vanilla.
*Stir in the melted butter.
*Sift the chocolate powder with the flour, baking powder and salt and stir flour mixture into the egg mixture.

At this point, you could just spread the mixture in a GREASED 8 inch square pan. HOWEVER, I recommend this twist.

CLH TWIST: Spread half of the mixture in the pan - spread it all around so it covers the bottom of the pan. Then take some chocolate bars and place them flat on top of the brownie mix in the pan. I used one caramel bar and one orange-chocolate bar. Then spread the rest of the brownie mix on top of the chocolate bars, making sure the spread it out to cover the entire area of the pan.

*Bake 20-30 minutes or until just set. Let cool completely. (CLH TIP: I did wait to let them cool completely. oops).

THESE ARE RIDONKULOUSLY TASTY.
