Here's one that I KNOW is EXCELLENT

Recipe By: Barb Schaller
Serving Size: 24
Preparation Time: 0:45
Categories: Bars

1 cup unsalted butter (8 oz)
4 ozs unsweetened baking chocolate
2 cups granulated sugar (15 oz)
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1 cup chopped nuts, optional (walnuts or pecans)
1 1/3 cups cake flour (6 oz)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

In microwave oven, on medium-high power, melt butter and chocolate in
2-quart microwave-safe bowl, about 3 minutes. Stir until smooth. Mix in
granulated sugar, then beat in eggs, one at a time, with wire whisk. Mix in
vanilla and almond. Stir in nuts. Combine cake flour, baking powder, and
salt and fold into chocolate. Spread batter in 9x13" pan lined with baking
parchment and bake in preheated oven at 350°F for about 33-35 minutes. Do
not overbake; toothpick may have fudgy crumbs on it, but not wet batter.

Notes: First Place, Plain Brownies, 1997 Minnesota State Fair. Adapted from
recipe in Cook's Illustrated magazine, March/April 1994. Please note that I
do use real chocolate, unsalted butter and cake flour. If you do not, don't
complain to me about it. And I don't believe the nutritional analysis at the
bottom of this page!
