I made this that week and substituted cocoa powder for the chocolate squares and topped the brownies with sliced almonds before I put them in the oven. They turned out wonderfully soft and fluffy! Everyone loves them. Even after a week, they were soft and moist, especially after microwaving for about 30-40 seconds. Will be coming back to this simple recipe in the future.

Terrible. I followed the directions exactly and the cake didn't come out as pictured. The outside was somewhat crusty and hardened, and because the author incorrectly instructed to add the flour/milk mixture to the creamed mixture, the batter came out lumpy and showed after I cut into the cake. The icing was grainy and watery no matter how much I mixed it, and I let everything cool completely before doing all that, as instructed. The icing called for granulated white sugar which is not ideal for icing. I knew that, but I stupidly followed the instructions anyway. You should use confectioner's/powdered sugar for icing, not granulated sugar. The cake was also dry and held little flavor. I do not recommend this recipe.
