What is the difference between fudge brownies and regular brownies?

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.

What is the old version of brownies?

Brownies were originally called Rosebuds and were founded by Lord Baden-Powell after the younger sisters of the Guides and Scouts showed an interest in joining the Guide Association. The Girl Guides Gazette said that Rosebuds wore a dark blue skirt, knitted jersey, cap or tam and the Rosebud Brooch.

Why do my brownies always turn out like cake?

Mixing incorporates air into the brownie batter. The more air that is incorporated will result in a more open, airy and cakey brownie . If you wanted fudgy brownies and you got cakey, check on your mixing technique and pull it back. Making fudgy brownies at home is often best done with a wooden spoon.

Taste like bittersweet chocolate, which I like. Bake for only 20 minutes for better consistency. Used date puree because it's what I had on hand.

The overall flavor of these low-fat brownies were good, and definitely better than the consistency of black-bean brownies. But in general these were dry. Eaten with a big glass of milk or coffee, they'll be fine. I followed the recipe exactly as listed. I think I'd rather splurge for the extra "points" of a regular brownie.

On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07.
