These brownies were an exact replica of a normal moist chocolate cake cut up into little squares. I give it 3 spoons because after they got cold they became brownies...but cold. Whatever. They satisfied me somewhat! If you try this just remember to blend the hell out of that batter for it has to do a lot with the way they come out. :)
