Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 350°F and lining an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, ensuring edges are covered for effortless removal.
- Craft the red velvet brownie foundation by thoroughly blending melted butter and sugar until smooth, then incorporate eggs, vibrant red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar, whisking until the mixture achieves a uniform crimson hue.
- Gently fold flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the liquid ingredients, stirring minimally to maintain a tender texture. Transfer approximately three-quarters of the batter into the prepared pan, reserving a small portion for decorative swirling.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip cream cheese with sugar until silky, then introduce an egg and vanilla extract, blending until the cheesecake mixture becomes luxuriously creamy and entirely lump-free.
- Elegantly distribute the cheesecake layer across the red velvet base, then artfully dot the remaining brownie batter on top, using a knife to create intricate marble-like patterns by gently dragging the batters together.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring for a set center and checking doneness with a toothpick that should emerge with minimal, moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely within the pan, then lift out using parchment edges, slice into precise squares, and savor the decadent fusion of red velvet and cheesecake flavors.
Notes
- Control food coloring intensity by gradually adding drops to achieve desired deep red color without affecting taste.
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for smooth, lump-free cheesecake swirl mixture.
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant red color and less liquid impact on brownie consistency.
- Chill brownies for an hour before cutting to get cleaner, more precise slices and enhanced flavor melding.
