Hi Jo, It's okay to share your confession with us — safe space. But let's help you make the kind of brownies you're looking for! If your brownies are coming out cake-like, you might be mixing the batter together for too long or at too high of a speed, which then incorporates excess air. We also recommend using a scale to measure your flour by weight, as flour compacts into the measuring cups if you scoop it right from the bag. Last tip? Be sure your oven is not running hot and that you're baking in a medium-colored metal pan. Glass or ceramic pans can bake unevenly and prevent a fudgy, moist texture. Check for doneness early and often. The classic recipe might be a good place to start. I hope that helps! Kye@KAF
