Bodacious Bar Brownies

These are more like a cake than a fudge. And the cream cheese frosting, is so delicious!!! I have to give credit where credit is due! I got this recipe from Gayle Holdman's recipe book. This probably won't be the last recipe that I give her credit for.

2 cubes butter or margarine
1 C. water
2 T. cocoa

2 lg. eggs

2 C. flour
2 C. sugar
½ tsp. salt

½ C. milk
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. vanilla

In saucepan, heat the butter, water, and cocoa just until butter is melted, then set aside. Stir together in mixing bowl the flour, sugar, and salt. Beat 2 eggs with a fork and set aside. In measuring cup, place the milk, baking soda, and vanilla. Pour hot cocoa mixture into dry ingredients in mixer. Add milk mixture. Stir well and scrape sides. Add eggs; stir until blended. Pour into greased and floured jellyroll pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool completely and frost with Fabulous Frosting
