Choc-cheese Brownies


My pile of work is yelling out to me. I am all stressed out.  The weather is no better.  It has been raining cats and dogs for many days now.  I needed a break, I needed to bake something to distress.  The next thing that came to my mind is this superb choc-cheese brownies.

3.  Then stir in eggs, one at a time until well combined.
4.  Fold in sifted flour and baking powder.

great that you still can spare some time baking, i haven't been baking for many weeks already, work & house chaos take up a lot of my time.

Little corner & crustabake : That's what got me interested in the brownies.

Agnes : That's the predicament of working mums :-(. That's why I have been slacking in my baking, too.

The Cake Crusader : :-)
