    Hi!
    I stumbled upon your website in search of making brownies, and this twist was lovely. I followed the recipe exactly but my batter was A LOT thicker.
    It smells wonderful and the pieces are still quite thin, would you recommend adding more oil or maybe some water next time to get a more runnier consistency ?

What makes brownies fudgy vs cakey? ›

Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio than cakey ones. So add more fat—in this case, butter and chocolate. A cakey batch has more flour and relies on baking powder for leavening. The amount of sugar and eggs does not change whether you're going fudgy or cakey.

Why did my box brownies turn out like cake? ›

The aeration agent or leavening agent as it's often called helps trap air in the batter structure and hence results in the cakey brownie style.

If the middle of the brownies are not cooking while the edges are burning, then you may need to lower the oven temperature and/or reduce the baking time. Additionally, you can try covering the brownies with aluminum foil to prevent the edges from burning.

What happens if there's too much butter in brownies? ›

The more you add, the more moist and fluffy it gets. However, at a certain point, you might increase the amount of butter so much that the cake starts becoming dense again and begin to fall into itself—eventually getting closer to the texture of a greasy brownie instead.
