This is officially called "Cocoa Brownies" but might do the trick. I used to bake it for little girl birthday parties in a heart-shaped tin and cover with pink icing.
1/2 cup butter (100 grams)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs beaten with 3 Tbsp cold water
1 cup + 2 Tbsp flour + 1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup Dutch cocoa
1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
Cream butter with sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together and mix into butter mixture until smooth. (You may add 1/2 cup chopped nuts.) Bake about 25 minutes in 350 (180 C) degree oven. This recipe can be doubled with no problem.
Icing:
3 Tbsp melted butter
2 Tbsp strong coffee (or use milk)
1 Tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp Dutch cocoa icing sugar (powdered sugar) Mix butter, coffee, vanilla and cocoa. Add icing sugar until it is thick and spreads well. Spread on cooled cake.

I have just come back froma weekend in Seville. As usual it was gorgeous. We had a great time. During the 6 hour drive back, I "suddenly" realized that I have my DD3 birthday party this coming Friday, and there will be a gazillion kiddies running around my house. Not a problem. However, I also realized that I have no cake mix. Yes, I can get Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines cake mixes here in Madrid (expensive but hey). For many years now my 3 girls have claimed that a birthday is not complete without a devil's food cake. So what do I do this year??? I will try and order some from the shop and hope for delivery before Friday. But if not, guess I¡ll have to make it from scratch. Anyone out there have a fool proof, absolutely delicious, and mega-moist recipe for devil's food cake?
Please?
Thanks
Claudia
