I mean it's cake in rectangle form.
No! No, no, no! You sir, oh, how I pity you. You clearly have had a very frightfully difficult life in which misfortune plays with you like a frayed chew toy at every corner, for somehow, by some mathematical glitch in the universe, you have only ever come across those hideous, those blasphemous, those utterly atrocious aberration of all that is right in the world, those shoddily tossed together brownies with the cake-like consistency you described.
Brownies are
not supposed to be anything even remotely similar to a cake. Their consistency is entirely different. They are certainly never meant to be crumbly. Brownies are moist, fudgey, dense, rich things that should by rights make you feel full to bursting after a single nibble.
I swear to god, if you were here right now I'd just go an make you a tray of my own brownies to restore your faith in what is quite possibly my favourite baked good.
As for me, anyway, as you may have guessed - Yay, if done right.
