Suggestion

• for a fodmap or gluten-free diet, take gluten-free flour it works perfect, and nobody will taste the difference
• for a lactose free diet, take lactose free butter
• if you serve the cake when still warm, cut the pieces a little bit bigger and serve it as a warm chocolate cake. Don’t forget the ice cream (vanilla, straciatella or walnut flavour) and the whipped cream, they just match perfectly to it.
• If you are in no rush, let the cake cool down totally, if possible even over night , it’s then easier to cut nice squares.
• the ingredients are calculated for a cake tin size 24*30cm
• you can easely freeze the brownies, so each time you have unexpected guests you can defrost them in 20 minutes and can serve fresh home made cookies. I always have some for emergency reasons in my freezer.
