Let me tell you, this cake is a far cry from being "moist or delicious". After reading the recipe I thought it would be fun to make for the Mexican-Styled Party we were attending. Everyone at the party had a very small pierce of the cake and no one said it was good because it wasn't. If you are looking for a so-so brownie recipe and not a cake recipe than this is the recipe for you.
