Made me and the kids some amazing dark choc brownies using dark belgian choc the other day. Having lost so much weight in recent months, for a reason not to be mentioned on this thread, I indulged myself and pigged out!

Dark Chocolate Brownies:
Quantity   Ingredients
100g (3.5oz)   unsalted butter
175g (6oz)   caster sugar
6 tbsp    dark muscavado sugar
125g (4.5oz)   dark chocolate
1 tbsp   golden syrup
2   eggs
1 tsp   chocolate or vanilla essence
100g (3.5oz)   plain flour
2 tbsp   cocoa powder
½ tsp   baking powder
   
   
   


Method
1. Lightly grease and line an 8 inch cake tin.
2. Place butter, sugar, dark chocolate and syrup in a saucepan and heat gently until mixture is well blended and smooth. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
3. Beat eggs and flavouring. Whisk in the cooled mixture.
4. Sieve in the flour and cocoa powder together and fold into the mixture using a metal spoon or spatula.
6. Spoon the mixture into the cake tin. Bake in a preheated oven 180C/350F/gas mark 4 (I did it 170 because I have a fan oven and I like my brownies a bit stodgy) for 25 minutes or until the edge of the cake is beginning to shrink from sides of tin. The inside will still be quite stodgy and soft to touch.
7. Leave the cake in the tin to cool completely. Then cut into squares

For extra indulgence top each square with melted chocolate.

LOL!  I couldn't even make to the second page without laughing so hard tears are running...and I'd always noticed my Iphone tries to auto correct; but I override it every time.

Oh LOL!! I see what you're saying about some of the content; but the mistakes are accidental; and they are funny as heck!!

Oh thanks for the laughs and the cake wrecks.

I make specialty cakes sometimes but I've never made a topsy-turvy like that Dr. Seus one.  My daughter wants a Dr. Seus cake for my grandaughter's birthday.....maybe I'll try something similar!  Looks like fun!

Have been using skype to talk to my inlaws in Istanbul. Then I read that some of my fellow LBS'ers use skype so I thought why not see if anyone wanted to exchange their ids so we can talk on skype.
Not quite sure the rules here about using your true name so I will have to wait for clarification on that before Ican release my name for skype.  I can send it thru personal message though if anyone is interested in chatting.

Here's to hoping that we all have a great weekend wherever we may be- we all know that sometimes weekends can be the hardest part of this MLC trauma.

DO this.

Don't post personal information on the board!
