Introduction: Brownie Butter Cake

Last weekend I was looking for a cake recipe and I saw this Brownie Butter cake recipe online and I was pretty impressed with the simplicity of this cake, so I gave it a shot and I am so glad I tried it out.

This cake has 2 layers, top layer is a simple white cake which is soft and spongy and has a very simple flavor. The second is a brownie layer which is very very chocolaty, fudgy and intense. The combination of both together is what makes this cake very unique and worth a try.
