How do you like your brownies: fudgy or cake-like?: 
How do I make fudgy brownies? In a nutshell, I have found out that the more flour you add, the more cake-like the result. Less flour and more chocolate and sugar, or both, and you get a more chewy result. Can cocoa powder (which is cheaper) be substituted? Cocoa powder does not have the cocoa butter that chocolate has. Chocolate is made up of cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Cocoa powder is made from cocoa solids. In order to successfully substitute cocoa powder for chocolate, you need to use more fat which, in baking, usually comes in the form of butter.
