Cake is my FAVORITE thing to eat in the world: second to that, is brownies. The brownie recipe I've been using since childhood is now muscle memory, they come out of the oven warm, ooey-gooey, fudgey deliciousness. There is nothing better on any day of the year than a warm or cool brownie paired with a cold glass of milk (or Hot Coco if it's winter).
One of my biggest problems is getting all the batter into the pan -- it's so tasty!! I'm also convinced it tastes better off a wooden spoon.... just me?
Fudge-y Brownies: 4 eggs, mix together with 1c sugar & 1c brown sugar. Add 1 1/2tsp vanilla & mix together. Melt 1 1/2 sticks butter & set aside to cool. In seperate bowl, sift together 1/2c flour, 2 tsp salt, & 1 1/4c cocoa powder. Alternatively, add the butter & cocoa mixtures to the egg-sugar mixture until homogeneous. Butter & flour a 9x9 brownie pan, add batter & cook at 300 for 48 minutes. 48 May sounds like an arbitrary number, but trust me, they'll be perfection! 
I love these super-intense chocolate fudge brownies as they are; however, some of my favorite variations are as follows:
1/2c dried blueberries
1/2c slivered almonds
1 1/2 tsp orange-blossom extract
1/3c Disaronno liquor
1/3c Kahula liquor (Better than Disaronnno in brownies)
Diced Candied Ginger
Crushed candy-canes (around Christmas)
1tsp Cinnamon, raisins & pecans
1pkg instant coffee (tastes like a mocha)
cocoa nibs
1/2c toffee bits
Candied orange peel
On their own or with a little something extra, these are TASTY!! Divertirsi! :)
