Instructions
Red Velvet Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing at least a 2-inch overhang.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter with the chopped bittersweet chocolate in 15-second increments. Stir until smooth.
- Beat in the granulated sugar and the cocoa powder, then beat the eggs one at a time.
- Mix in the red food coloring, the vanilla extract, and the white vinegar.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before lifting them out of the pan.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting with cream cheese frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Beat the softened cream cheese together with the butter until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Using an icing spatula, spread the cream cheese frosting over the brownies in an even layer.
- Store frosted brownies in the refridgerator.
Notes
Frost the brownies with the cream cheese frosting and chill them in the fridge for an hour or two before slicing.
Run a knife under hot water and wipe it dry before slicing the brownies to create clean cuts.
