I saw the review for this and had to make it! Excellent! I was craving chocolatey chocolate something and this hit the spot! I loved the walnuts! Thanks for a delicious dessert, and snack, why I even had a small piece for breakfast!

If you love total decadence, this cake is it. It is the richest tasting thing ever. It really tastes more like the best brownie you ever had in your life. My son-in-law has a major sweet tooth and he was enraptured. I did have to cook it about 20 minutes longer than it called for. It took that long for the cake to start pulling away from the pan but it is more than worth the wait. This will be a keeper at our house.

VERY GOOD! I had intended this to be a coworkers birthday cake. My nephews got to it first. I had to fight them for a piece. I loved it. I used pecans and not walnuts as that is what I had on hand. thank you l4c!

As previously stated - this is absolute decadence! I used pecans (hate walnuts) & topped with cream cheese frosting. It took an hour to bake. Thanx Love!
