If you like biting into the soft, gooey, melted chocolate then this brownie is for you. With no leavening agents like baking soda or baking powder, this brownie does not rise. The eggs are whisked but not too much and the amount of flour is also less. All of this results in a brownie which rises in the oven while baking and becomes flat upon cooling. Due to this process, the upper layer of the brownie becomes crispy while the inside remains wet and gooey, just like the chocolate fudge.
