Brownies don't require any baking powder. At least the recipe from Joy
of Cooking that I used yesterday didn't. It just called for whipping
eggs until they turn light yellow, keep whipping while adding sugar and
vanilla, then fold it into the butter and chocolate mixture and then
fold in the flour. No leavening at all.
