The inspiration from this cake came from Tartine's pumpkin tea cake. I wanted to make a lighter, cake-ier cake, closer to a dessert you'd eat at a dinner party than to a quickbread you'd eat for breakfast. The frosting recipe is based on my idol Dorie Greenspan's Tangy Cream Cheese Frosting.
I've tried lots of brownie recipes. I'm done looking. My wife found this recipe, and it's perfect. This is the brownie recipe that I'll use from now on. For special deals and more great content, sign up for the free How To Cook Like Your Grandmother Newsletter.
