I mixed the butter cake batter while baking the brownie. Then I poured the butter cake batter VERY QUICKLY onto the "hot" brownie. The butter cake batter will melt instantly.

The second time I baked this brownie butter cake, I put the butter cake batter into a piping bag and cut a big hole at the tip, pipe in the butter cake batter quickly, and just shake and tap the pan to smooth the top.
