Back to School Cake

These began as a snack brownie recipe off the Hershey web-site but became more of a cakey, yummy creation after I added caramel & salted the batter. I think this is my new favorite quick chocolate cake from scratch. And quick is what I needed this week. It's the beginning of the school year & I work for a prestigious, private University in New York City. We call these early days "RUSH". All of the students cram into the empty spaces of summer & come back or begin in full throttle! My days are fuller & longer & I feel the coolness of autumn in the air. Perfect time to bake a snack & perfect time to try a new, fast recipe.

Cheers to new beginnings :)!
