Is there an equivalent to brownies in other cuisines?

In "American" cuisine, there is a baked good called a brownie , which is peculiar because it exists at a kind of intersection of cookies (biscuits), cake, and fudge. Brownies often have a cookie-crunchy exterior, and the moist interior of a fudge cake. It's an in-between confection. Does any other cuisine have this kind of liminal baked item, that crosses over cookies and cake? We couldn't think of any, so turning it over to Seasoned Advice to...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

The Swedish kladdkaka is pretty similar to the brownie, even though it's mostly classified as a cake, rather than a cookie. (It's typically served as a segment of a round cake, often with either icing sugar or whipped cream on top.) And if you're looking for border-crossing items in general, there are lots of things on the border between 'bread' and 'cake' or 'cookie'. Panettone , donut and taralli all straddle this border at different places.
