Mariel’s Chocolate Almond Walnut Brownie Cake
She calls it a real chocolate lover’s cake. This yummy recipe once again comes from Mariel Hemingway’s book, Mariel’s Kitchen. The book is divided into four seasons. Since this is the first week of fall, I selected my personal favorite from her fall recipe selection.
