Bownies

I combined my cake like brownie recipe with my chewy moist brownie recipe and came up with this one that is a nice combination of the two recipes. The result is a chewy brownie that is not so sticky that it sticks to your fingers. For birthdays, our family often prefers brownies instead of cake. Since I usually don't add frosting, I add sprinkles to the top before baking for a more festive appearance. In the photo, the brownie with the sprinkles was made with this recipe. The plain brownie is from the Chewy Moist recipe (1/2 recipe made in a 7x11 pan)

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9x13 pan with oil and dust with flour. Combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder together. Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix well, either by hand or with electric beaters. Spread in the pan and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
