I used exact measurements & followed the instructions, except I left out the nuts & extracts. My 'brownie' turned out more like a cake...pretty dry one, that's why I added chocolate frosting to it. It tastes good even tho it's not a brownie. Tell me what I did wrong...Overbeat the eggs, stir the mixture too long...? I wanted to add a pic, but I wasn't able to due to technical issues.
