Lin a buttered 9 inch round pan with a round of wax paper, butter the paper, and pour the batter into the pan. Bake the torte in a preheated 350 oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out with crumbs on it. Let the torte cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes, invert it onto the rack, and remove the paper. Invert the torte onto another rack and let it cool top side up. Sift the confectioners' sugar lightly over the torte and serve the torte with the ice cream if desired. NOTES : A family favorite for years. Look like plain brownies, but after one mouthful there is no doubt that these are not plain brownies!!
