We're surprised to hear your fudgy brownies came out cakey even without baking powder or baking soda, Amanda. This probably means you're mixing the ingredients together for too long or perhaps using too much flour. Try weighing your flour using a scale, and bake them in a medium-colored metal pan. You can also press the brownies down with the back of a large spatula once they come out of the oven to get a truly fudgy and pleasantly dense texture. I hope that helps! Kye@KAF
