Cup Cake Brownies
Description
Dorothy Trotter's rich, fudgy brownie batter — unsweetened baking chocolate melted with butter and stirred with pecans, then folded into a sugar, flour, and egg base without overbeating, and baked. Despite the name, this is simply a classic dense brownie recipe, with the texture and richness that earned it the affectionate nickname.

Note
Do not overbeat the batter at any stage — mix until just blended each time. Overbeating brownie batter introduces too much air and changes the dense, fudgy texture into something cakier.
