Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup cocoa powder or 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup chopped walnuts or 3⁄4 cup pecans (optional)
- 1 cup flour
Directions
- In a 1 quart or larger saucepan, over low heat, melt the butter.
- If you are using chocolate, melt the chocolate with the butter.
- If you are using cocoa powder, stir it into the melted butter with a wooden spoon.
- Add the sugar and stir.
- Using the same wooden spoon, add the eggs, one at a time, stirring until incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
- Put batter into a 13X9 pan (I use a nonstick metal pan) and bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 30 to 35 mins, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool before cutting.
