My husband and I have very different tastes when it comes to desserts. I’m a rich, creamy and cold mousse kind of person while he loves a gooey, warm dessert.  ‘Warm’ is the keyword! If he’s ordering a carrot cake, he wants it warmed up. Which to me does not make sense because there is a cream cheese frosting with it. If he’s having a berry muffin, it needs to come warm and that will most often require it to be removed from the liner which aesthetically doesn’t appeal to me. So we usually order our own things at a restaurant or a cafe. But if it ever happens that we decide to share a dessert (you know, it happens! Too full but not going to leave without dessert) the only thing we can ever agree to is a brownie. A warmed up fudgy brownie served with a side of vanilla ice cream. Dessert is sorted!
As for the boys, one is a dessert lover, the other is not. But brownies win there too.

Given that we are united as a family when it comes to brownies, it is good to have a brownie cake in my repertoire for special occasions and weekend indulgences. This cake always does it. The perfect way to enjoy it is warming it up in the microwave before serving and topping it up with fresh berries or your favourite ice cream. The recipe cannot be simpler. Over the years, I’ve simplified it by mixing the entire thing in one saucepan, the same one I use to warm my butter and chocolate in. So this recipe is not only delicious but very convenie...
