Happy Birthday, Victoria Beckham! Try Her Brownies Recipe
Happy birthday, Posh!
In honor of her 40th birthday, Victoria Beckham told PEOPLE 40 facts about herself, including some secret snacking habits: she loves seaweed rice cakes, popcorn, and lychee. Though she’s known for her celeb-loved designs and her slender figure (courtesy of healthy snacks like dried mulberries and an alkaline diet), she does dabble in junk food.
After all, she must’ve had to dig through multiple gummy bears (and probably eaten a few!) to find this mutant one, right? And she’s even unearthed a “vintage” Spice Girls-themed pizza and baked it, so we’re game to trust her on the fun food front.
In 2012 she finished off a birthday lunch with a fruit plate, last year she celebrated with an actual cake, and this year, after revealing that her “favorite thing to bake is brownies,” she shared her favorite recipe with us. These “easy” brownies are not too fudgy and definitely foolproof.
