Can I make this brownie cake without eggs?

Yes! Replace each egg with 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, or use commercial egg replacer following package directions.

How do I know when the cake is perfectly done?

Insert a toothpick in the center – it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not completely clean. The top should spring back lightly when touched.

Can I double this recipe for a larger crowd?

Absolutely! Double all ingredients and use a 9x13 inch pan. Increase baking time to 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with the toothpick test.

What's the best way to get smooth, lump-free batter?

Sift the cocoa powder if it's very lumpy, and make sure your melted butter isn't too hot when you add it to prevent the eggs from cooking.

Can I add chocolate chips or nuts?

Definitely! Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or your favorite mix-ins just before pouring into the pan.

Why did my cake turn out dry?

This usually happens from overbaking or using too much flour. Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling off, and check for doneness early.
