- 3 cubes of butter (up to ½ can be applesauce)
- 1/2 c. cocoa
- 3 c. brown sugar (C&H or organic)
- 6 eggs
- 2 ½ c. unbleached or whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- ½ cup chopped nuts (I prefer pecans) (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 . Cream together butter, cocoa and sugar. Add eggs, flour, salt, vanilla, and nuts. Mix only until blended. (Don’t over mix.) Spread in a jelly roll pan that has been sprayed with non stick spray. Bake 25 minutes. Don’t overcook.
Serve with whipped cream. Whip 1 cup whipping cream. Add 1 Tablespoon Instant Vanilla Pudding, 1/2 teas. vanilla, 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar. Mix just until blended.
It is fun to garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.
