Shane’s Cake

Norma’s Notes

• This is one of my old faithful brownie recipes.
• One time when my daughter had friends over in the back yard, I sent a pan of these brownies out for them to enjoy. 
• One of the boys next door loved them so much that we named the cake after him. For the past twenty years we have called this "Shane’s Cake”.
• These freeze well and are always a good option to take to a bake sale, party or as a gift. 
• Brownie pans 11 x 7 work the best.
