Baked these for my colleagues at work and they loved them. Similar to a brownie but not as squidgy. Don't be put off by the name they are delicious and easy to make.

Do not try this recipe. It's the biggest disappointment. It's not the traditional chocolate concrete cake (the biscuit type you got at school), it's a dry bland sponge. It went straight in the bin. A complete waste of ingredients.

I tried do this, and it started getting puddles on the top while in the oven. I did all the steps and correct ingredients, so I have no clue what went wrong. Thanks for wasting my food and time ❤️
