Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Finishing Touches:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Create a romantic dessert backdrop by positioning the oven rack in the center and warming it to 350°F (175°C), then meticulously line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang for easy removal.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whisk together molten butter, granulated sugar, rich cocoa powder, aromatic vanilla extract, vibrant red food coloring, and tangy white vinegar until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform crimson landscape.
- Incorporate eggs individually, whisking thoroughly after each addition to ensure a luxurious, velvety texture and harmonious blending.
- Delicately fold flour and salt into the wet ingredients, using gentle sweeping motions to maintain the batter’s airiness, then fold in chocolate chips if desired for extra decadence.
- Transfer the lustrous crimson batter into the prepared pan, tenderly smoothing the surface with a flexible spatula to create an even, inviting layer.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for the telltale sign of doneness: a toothpick emerging with a few moist, enticing crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely within the pan atop a wire rack, letting them set and develop their rich, fudgy character before slicing into passionate squares.
Notes
- Swap out food coloring with natural alternatives like beetroot powder for a vibrant red hue without artificial additives.
- Enhance moisture by adding a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the batter for extra softness and richness.
- Create gluten-free versions by substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour or a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
- Elevate presentation by drizzling white chocolate or cream cheese frosting on top for a decadent Valentine’s Day touch.
