"VERO'S VERBIAGE & VISUALS"

I love to cook and have quite an extensive collection of recipes in many catagories.

This is a recipe that was given to me way back when I was a Junior Women’s clubber, and it is my very favorite way to enjoy chocolate cake. It is a moist, fudgy dessert, that is more like a brownie than cake.
