I came across this recipe a few years ago when my Culinary class had to enter a dessert in the Loy Lake Creative Arts Show to be judged. I received a blue ribbon on this dessert! So IN YOUR FACE to the girls in my class that turned their nose to my chocolate creation, saying how "old people don't like chocolate. They like weird cakes with fruit in them". Yep, I'm sure your blueberry lemon cake was great and all, but never talk bad about chocolate!!
It's so yummy, that sometimes, I make just the brownie recipe! Sometimes, even the brownie recipe with cheesecake filling on top! Yumm!

Original recipe calls for 1 (4-oz.) unsweetened chocolate baking bar, chopped instead of the cocoa powder and oil, but it's how I've always made it, haha.

Baking holds a special place in my heart. The kitchen was always a warm place where you poured you love into food that would nourish and delight your family. Many of my fond memories of my grandmother were in the kitchen making everything from biscuits in a can to our Banana Pudding and Texas Sheet Cake. And I'm here to spread the love and smother y'all with some home baking.Will be sharing my favorite recipes, some from home, some I found, all delicious! Hopefully, I'll find some too!
