Isn't that supposed to be the story behind the original
brownies--someone made a chocolate cake but forgot to add the leavening?

Hi Sheryl,

This looks really good....Thursday will be my cooking day; the only thing I
do different with the brownies when I make the regular recipe is to
substitute the Hershey's Cocoa, and corn oil for the unsweetened chocolate
bars....I prefer the taste.

My recipe has no baking soda in it.

You are right (of course you are!!!).
Your recipe calls for baking powder.

Apologies.
