This is almost the same recipe we got from a friend a LONG time ago-and remains a staple dessert for our kids, grandkids, & great grandkids! The only difference is we add 2 Tbls of cinnamon to dry ingredients. This is very soupy when you make it but comes out like a brownie cake. Simply delicious!!
