Chocolate and Walnut Brownie

This delicious cake, originally from the United States, is loved by everyone and can be easily found in many restaurants. This cake is unique for not rising much, being moist inside, and getting even better as days pass.
The brownie can be served with a scoop of cream ice cream.
For a quick, homemade, and delicious ice cream, whip 200 ml of fresh cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until it becomes whipped cream, then freeze it for 3 hours.
