The Different Ingredients in a Chocolate Cake and a Brownie
Taking a look at the ingredients that make up chocolate cakes and brownies, the main difference really comes down to the use of leavening agent. While both chocolate cake and brownie recipes typically feature flour, sugar, butter or oil, and eggs, cake recipes usually call for more baking powder and/or baking soda than brownie recipes do. In fact, many
brownie recipes call for very little or no rising agent at all. This factor, combined with the different concentration of flour, sugar, and butter/oil, is what makes brownies so thick and dense!
The Texture Difference Between a Chocolate Cake and a Brownie
Go ahead: bite into a piece of brownie, then bite into a piece of chocolate cake. It won’t take you long to realize that there’s a big difference in texture in each one! Usually, chocolate cakes are fluffier, more “airy,” and more refined in texture. On the other hand, think of brownies as the in-between of a cake and a cookie: thicker, denser, and chewier!
