ooey gooey cake brownies

                            I would like to add a special post today. This recipe came from my boyfriends grandmother Virginia. She has recently passed away and at her service this recipe was passed around, as it is one of her most famous recipes amongst her family and friends. She was an amazing woman.She was a nurse since 1957 and opened a nursing home and was the first woman that received a Nursing Home Administrators License in the State of Washington.

                         She took each of her grandchildren on trips such as Asia, South America, Africa and Europe just to name a few. My boyfriend got to go to Hawaii.So in her honor I would like to present these amazing ooey gooey cake brownies. These little melt in your mouth brownies are the best I have ever had. As you see in the pic above I haven't cut them yet. Thought you would like to see what they should look like before cutting. These babies are so moist that cutting is a little difficult. Just let them sit for a few hours or sit in fridge to harden a little before cutting. Enjoy!!!


ooey gooey cake brownies:

Serves: 24
Preheat oven: 375 degrees
Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Cake:
1 cup margarine
1 cup water
4 tablespoons cocoa
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour

Frosting:
1/2 cup margarine
4 tablespoons cocoa
6 tablespoons milk
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 cup chopped nuts
1 teaspoon vanilla

Heat the margarine,water,and cocoa in a saucepan. While the mixture warms up mix the flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm cocoa mixture over the flour mixture and blend, using a hand mixer.Add eggs,buttermilk,baking soda,and vanilla. Mix and pour batter onto lightly greased standard size cookie sheet and bake.

While brownies are baking, make the frosting by heating margarine, cocoa and milk in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and beat in powdered sugar. Add chopped walnuts and vanilla and hand stir. Frost the brownies while still warm by placing large dollops on the cake so it will naturally melt.

Eat and Enjoy!!

I saw something on a website and can't remember where it was. I was making a large amount of Brownies and I was in a hurry. The suggestion was to take a plastic knife and cut using a sawing motion. It worked great and I was able to cut them and not tear them up while they were still warm. I can't wait to try your recipe.
