This recipe is from from Maida Heatter’s Book of Great American Desserts.  She is known for delicious desserts.  Why use a box mix when you can make this one so easily?

1/2 C. flour
1/3 C. cocoa
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 stick butter or (1/4 lb.)
1 C. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 large eggs
1 C.  walnuts, broken into pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 9″ square pan with foil and butter the foil.  Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.  Melt butter in a 10 – 12 c saucepan over moderate heat. Stir in sugar and vanilla, and add eggs one at a time.  Stir in dry ingredients, and stir in nuts.  Spread smoothly in prepared pan. Bake 20 – 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center just barely comes out clean.

Cool in pan 15 minutes. Cover with rack and turn pan over. Remove pan and foil lining. Cover with a cutting board and turn back over again.

Let stand until cool. Cut into 16 squares.
