A Brownie That Covers All the Bases

Recipe
Fudgy, Chewy, Cakey Brownies

Sometimes you just want a plain, old-fashioned brownie...no frills, no fuss - just pure chocolate bliss. If you're in that kind of a mood, read on, because I have just the thing for you. The recipe title says it all here: these brownies somehow manage to be fudgy, cakey, and chewy - all at the same time! Amazing, no? Something for everyone! I tend to like my brownies a little more on the chewy-cakey side, and less fudgy; Dariush likes his a little more fudgy and less cakey. Incredibly, these brownies lived up to their name and made us both happy. This is a Pam Anderson recipe (no, not that Pam Anderson) from her cookbook The Perfect Recipe, which is full of wonderful staple recipes, like these brownies and some pretty great pancakes. She's the executive editor of the illustrious Cook's Illustrated, so she really knows her stuff - these brownies included.

Happy fall, Cathedral Hill readers!

Ha! How long do you think we can keep the pan thing going? We've gotten a lot of mileage out of it!
