Cakey brownies are a type of brownie that has a light, fluffy texture, similar to cake. They are made with ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and cocoa powder, which contribute to their airy consistency. Unlike fudgy brownies, which are dense and rich, cakey brownies rise more during baking, resulting in a softer bite. These brownies often have a slightly drier crumb and can be flavored with various additions, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or vanilla extract. Cakey brownies are popular for their versatility and can be served plain or topped with frosting or powdered sugar for added sweetness.
