Many want to know what makes a brownie cakey vs fudgy and it really comes down to 2 main things, the amount of Flour and fat in your mixture. If you use more Flour in this recipe, say around 1 cup, that will make your brownie more cakey. If more fat is used, it will make it more fudgy and chewy. You can also bake it for 30 minutes instead of 35 to help make it a little more cakey.
Adding an extra egg into the brownie mix will help make it more fudgy, chewy and also less cakey. If your Vegan, you can also what’s called “flax egg” as a plant based alternative to egg.
Both will result in delicious brownies. They give a slightly different result in taste and texture that’s ultimately down to your preference. Using Butter gives it a richer flavour and slightly more firmer texture. Oil tends to produce brownies that are more moist and have a softer, sometimes slightly denser texture. Using oil can help them stay moist for a longer time compared to those made with Butter.
It might be a little tricky to distinguish between the two, but here’s some pointers on how you can tell. If they are undercooked they might look done but can have a raw batter like consistency and lack the proper texture. You can also look at the top to see if they have slightly crispy edges. That’s a good sign that they will be fudgy. If it still seems undercooked then give more extra time to bake or adjust the temperature and they’ll taste yummy when cooked properly!
