\"Chocolate<\/a>The Ultimate Easy but Impressive Dessert for Any Celebration<\/span><\/h5>\n

We celebrated my husband’s grandma’s birthday this weekend, and I volunteered to put my baking-as-therapy energy to good use and make dessert for the family celebration. She’s not one for a big fuss about herself (or anything else), but I know she never says no to a good cake. It’s one of the things I love best about her.<\/p>\n

After thinking about which Pinterest-perfect dessert creation I wanted to attempt, I decided to stick with a tried-and-true family recipe instead and make my own favorite dessert: my mom’s Chocolate Chip Brownie Torte. It’s simple but showy with its four layers of brownie cake and chocolate chip whipped cream.<\/p>\n

This from-scratch recipe is something my mom has been making for years for my birthday and many other occasions. And not to overstate it, but this recipe was one of the things I baked for my husband early on, back when we were first dating. It *may* be what convinced him to marry me.<\/p>\n

It’s that good.<\/p>\n

But better yet, it’s not difficult. One pot on the stovetop, one pan in the oven, and then that homemade whipped cream frosting that’s not too sweet, perfectly smooth, and still totally decadent.<\/p>\n

This dessert tastes best if you make it the night before and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before serving. It fits right in to my life, where I’m baking into the wee hours the night before an event.<\/p>\n

Don’t be intimidated by the layers. The jelly roll pan makes it fool-proof to get perfectly even layers, and the whipped cream camouflages imperfections (ahem, like a broken layer because I got overzealous in my inverting the pan). Once your guests take their first bite, they won’t be thinking about how the layers look anyway.<\/p>\n
