I can't stop cooking chocolate desserts. Any recipe that comes to my hands and contains chocolate as the main ingredient, automatically goes to occupy a privileged place on my "to do" list. This is what happened to me with this simple brownie with chocolate coating.
It is a very tender cake for breakfast that thanks to the chocolate cover makes a great dessert. As a dessert you can serve it with a light custard, a scoop of ice cream ... and / or decorate it with meringue or cream to give it a more "festive" look. Making it does not involve any difficulty and the coverage can also be applied in a Yogurt cake basic try it!
