Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box moist red velvet cake mix
- 1/3 cup (79 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup (79 ml) water
- 1 large egg
Frosting:
- Whipped fluffy white frosting
Instructions
- Initiate oven warming to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9×13-inch baking vessel with grease and parchment paper for effortless extraction. Merge red velvet cake mix, egg, vegetable oil, and water in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking until achieving a uniformly smooth consistency.
- Transfer the crimson-hued batter into the prepared pan, utilizing a spatula to distribute evenly across the surface, creating a level landscape.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven, allowing the brownies to transform for 18-22 minutes. Validate doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should emerge with minimal crumbs. Permit complete cooling within the pan before extraction.
- After temperature reduction, delicately elevate the brownie block using parchment paper edges. Strategically employ a heart-shaped cookie cutter to carve romantic silhouettes from the decadent canvas. Reserve remaining fragments for casual nibbling.
- Designate half of the heart-shaped specimens with their flat surfaces facing upward. Adorn each base with pillowy white frosting, deploying a piping technique for elegant coverage. Gently crown each frosted foundation with a complementary heart, positioning the decorative surface outwardly.
- Artfully arrange the brownie heart sandwiches on an elegant serving platform, presenting a visually tantalizing and delectable confection ready for indulgence.
Notes
- Experiment with different cake mix flavors like chocolate or strawberry to create unique variations of these brownie hearts.
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before cutting to maintain clean heart-shaped edges and prevent crumbling.
- Create gluten-free version by using a gluten-free red velvet cake mix and checking ingredient compatibility.
- Reduce sugar content by selecting a low-sugar cake mix or substituting part of the oil with unsweetened applesauce for a healthier twist.
