My Grandma Brittingham & Aunt Opal Mae's Brownie Cake 1940's-2010

I was putting together some Brittingham family receipes for Flora since she has a new kitchen of her own. One of the family receipes dates back to our Grandma Brittingham and our Aunt Opal Mae. Barbara continues the tradition of the Brownie cake, many times you can just drop by her house and there is one freshly baked on the shelf in the pantry!
So here is the SECRET RECEIPE!
