Dark chocolate and cashew nut brownie

Hi everyone...Sorry for being so irregular....Last weekend was a very hectic and happening one....It is birthday and anniversary month in our family and one of my twin sis was here with me for her b'day....We had a blast with her and her hubby and missed the other twin....Love you Tanu .....We went to Vegas, did wine tasting and lot more fun....I made a black forest gateau for her birthday, but before I could take the pics, the cake was all gone....
