Notes
TIP: If you would like more fudgy brownies, simply use a cake tester or toothpick to check. If there is still a little bit of batter on the tester, they are fudgy. If you would like your brownies more cake-like, let them cook at least 10 minutes longer.
The cake tester or toothpick will come out clean when the brownies are more cake-like.
