What types of desserts go in the oven but don't rise?

Hi, I'm a very amateur baker, but I'm in a production of The Drowsy Chaperone, which has a song about a baked dessert. I thought it would be fun to make the dessert that the song describes ("Toledo Surprise") but since it isn't a real thing, I'm struggling to figure out how to make it.

The specific part that I'm struggling with is the instructions described in the chorus. "First you beat it up, then you sweet it up, when you heat it up, if it tries to rise, don't let it!". Any time I look for an answer, I just get no-bake desserts, which isn't what I need. The only thing I can think of are cookies, which I kind of have as a backup plan, but definitely wouldn't be as specific to the song.

I know I'm not going to find a perfect match for this fictional dessert, but if anyone knows of a dessert that's put in the oven but doesn't rise, please let me know!!

It depends on the type, but a lot of brownie recipes don’t have a lot of a leavening process and don’t really rise
