I agree but I dont see this thread going very far

>>16280743
i'd be surprised if anyone disagrees

ya know, just because I saw this, when I make my stromboli I'll make some brownies too

>>16280743
this is objectively true

store-bought brownies > homemade brownies

>>16281053
um store-bought brownies are good too but I wouldn’t say they’re better than homemade

>>16280743
chocolate death > chocolate murder

>>16281053
shut up retard

>>16281053
>never made good brownies
sucks to be you

>>16281053
false.

the real argument is Fudgy, Cakey, or Chewy?

>>16282787
fudgy, of course, but not with undercooked brownies.

cakey brownies is objectively shit because that's what fucking cake is for, and cake is inferior to brownies. wanting cakey brownies is like wanting dry water.

>>16282787
Cakey brownies are shit tier, the other two really depends on what I feel like at the moment

best cake

>>16282787
juxtaposition of fudgy and chewy

There can only be one

>>16280743
brownie ice cream > chocolate brownies > chocolate cake

>>16282787
the point of brownies is that they are fudgy and chewy, a cakey "brownie" is a cake.

What if I told you, brownies are actually a type of cookie?

>>16283720
Get your head blown up by a fucking shotgun

>>16283586
brownies with ice cream on top or on the side > brownie by itself = vanilla ice cream by itself > brownie ice cream

>>16281053
No way, retard.

>>16282787
Fudgey for me but I also like chewy. I don't like cakey and the only time I've ever made cakey brownies is the second time I baked my own and added too much flour.

it's brownie the it's what butter you in the brownie the butter in better it's brownie with that it that with the butter

>>16283147
hahaha caca cake

replacing one or more (but not all) eggs in brownie batter with a quarter cup of milk per egg is a redpill

>>16285352
What's the result?

>>16282787
Chewy

>>16285363
same texture. the brownie does not turn out cakey, and it gets some milky flavor and less eggy flavor because a lot of brownie recipes i’ve seen call for a really high egg ratio to the point of them being basically chocolate eggs more than brownies. egg whites contain all of the aroma and flavor that we associate with eggs, including the sulfuric compounds that can smell like farts if too many eggs are present; that’s why those spongy jiggly cakes that call for the batter being like 50% eggs by weight tend to smell not totally appetizing and not taste like much other than eggs.

I like to keep some yolks in there though because yolks are good and provide richness and emulsification.

>>16285411
Will give it a shot next time I make them.

>>16283720
>a type of cookie?
How

>>16287270
the argument is that they follow basically the same ingredients and procedure as cookies, just with some cocoa powder added in.

however not totally accurate because they are the dense and decadent version of cake.

>>16287305
also brownies usually have twice the eggs as cookie dough which gives them more moisture than cookies but not as much moisture as cake. but you don't need to use that many eggs. you can substitute one or more eggs for like a quarter cup of milk per egg.

>>16280743
But cakey brownies are better than fudgey brownies.

>>16285352
The good thing about brownies is that you can be very loose with the recipe.
But generally with eggs;
More egg white means more cakey
More egg yolks means more rich
More whipping in eggs means more light and airy

Grandma would make chocolate cake that was eaten and treated as though they were brownies. Similar texture, though she added frosting to it.

>>16285244
came here to say this

>>16281053
Cosmic brownies are just a different kind of great. Not sure I'd call them better but they're good
