What makes brownies "cakey or fudgy"?

The texture of brownies depends on the balance of ingredients. Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio, using more butter or chocolate, resulting in a dense, moist texture. Cakey brownies have more flour and often include baking powder for leavening, making them lighter and fluffier. Adjusting the ratios of these key ingredients determines whether your brownies turn out fudgy or cakey.
