SHEET CAKE THAT TASTES LIKE BROWNIES
This old-fashioned cake sends you straight to chocolate heaven. It's seriously one of the best chocolate cakes we've made. The cake is tender and melts in your mouth. The fudge-like frosting is full of pecans. Adding the frosting while the cake warms means the frosting soaks into the top layer of the cake.

OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CAKE
This brownie-cake is so good! The best part is the frosting - very chocolaty but not too sweet. Originally from Esther Shank's Mennonite cookbook, tweaked just a bit by me.
