Excellent Brownie recipe, CountryLady. Very easy to put together and bake. Especially love the fact they're "cake-like"! Sooooo good! Thanks for sharing. Laudee -
My daughter especially loved these cake-like brownies with their rich, gooey frosting. I also enjoyed them very much, as did my husband, although we are more particularly fond of the "fudgey" style brownies. This makes a ton of brownies! - great for a bake sale or a crowd of guests. My jelly roll pan was the perfect size for these. I enjoyed the hint of coffee flavor in these. Thanks! -
After I added the wet ingredients to the dry, it was the perfect brownie texture. Unfortunately, I still had to add two eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, and a tsp of vanilla (plus bp). This mixture was WAY too thin to make a proper brownie, and the taste was very bland. I fixed it by adding an additional cup of flour, 1/8 cup sugar, 1/8 cup cocoa, and 1/4 cup carob powder. Not sure what happened with this one. -
This is the recipe my friend Doris used when she cooked for the local Lutheran High School. I have made other versions of this recipe but I like this one the best...I think that it is the coffee that makes the difference. I sometimes decorate them with seasonal sprinkle seasonals for potlucks. This recipe makes a lot of brownies! Thanks for posting this where I can get to it quickly. -
This is delicious. My mom makes them when she has a large gathering.

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design!
