Cakey Brownies

Cakey Walnut Brownies, a classic dessert that can be made at home from scratch in about 30 minutes. It has a light, chocolaty sponge with crunchy walnut pieces, so indulgent, hard to resist not having one too many brownies. Cut them in squares, or bake them as a cake, the result is the same scrumptious dessert. No need to buy the boxed kind, the homemade brownies are the real treat.
