We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In bowl, beat eggs with an electric mixer, add in sugar 1/2 cup at a time beating well between additions. Beat until fluffy thick, this could take up to 6 - 8 minutes

  • Step 2: Add butter,chocolate mix, salt and vanilla, blend

  • Step 3: Fold in flour, if using add in chopped walnuts, gently folding into batter

  • Step 4: Pour into greased 9 x 13 pan, baking in a preheated 350 oven with rack in the middle position for 25 to 30 minutes. When baked cake should be shiny, firm on top and fudge like in the inside, Do not over bake or it will go hard. Cool

  • Step 5: Icing - you may want to double the icing. Mix butter, cocoa and vanilla adding in confectioners sugar (icing sugar) using more or less to get the consistency you desire. You may ice while slightly warm. For special times I decorate with pecan halves.
