Brownie Torte



This has become a family favorite. It's easy to make and always delicious. Usually you top this with whipped cream and summer fruit, but I added a strawberry sauce with ice cream.

3/4 c sugar
6 T butter
1 T water
1 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2/3 c flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Combine sugar, butter, and water in small, heavy-duty saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; remove from heat. Add 3/4 c chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; stir until well blended. Stir in remaining chocolate chips. Pour into waxed paper-lined and greased 9-inch-round cake pan.

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick test comes out slightly sticky. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto wire rack; remove waxed paper. Turn right side up; cool completely. Top with desired topping. Chill. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
