Description

A recipe for rich, moist red velvet brownies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Drop small spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the batter in the pan.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the cream cheese layer. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a deeper red color, increase the red food coloring slightly.
  • You can use a white chocolate ganache topping if desired.
