Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounce cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Then, add the eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar, mixing until fully combined.

3. 3. Sift in the cocoa powder, salt, and all-purpose flour, then gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

4. 4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.

5. 5. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. If using dairy-free cream cheese, add a bit of cornstarch to help thicken the frosting.

6. 6. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Slice and serve your delectable Red Velvet Brownies.

Use high-quality cocoa powder for richer flavor.

Avoid overmixing to keep brownies tender.
