Red Velvet Brownies
Hello February! My January was ridiculously busy and full of more lows than highs. So I’m relieved to see a change in the calendar and hoping for a better month.
February also brings those hearts and flowers and lots of pink for a certain holiday…
I’ve been wanting to make red velvet brownies for the occasion, but I’ve been lazy. Then I realized I could make cake mix red velvet brownies after successfully making my funfetti brownies, and suddenly I wasn’t too tired.
These are easy, fudgy, rich. Perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Red Velvet Cake Mix Brownies
Ingredients:
1 box of red velvet cake mix
1 egg
1 stick butter, melted (or 1/2 cup oil)Directions:
Grease brownie pan and preheat oven to 350F. Mix cake mix, egg and melted butter/oil until batter is smooth. The batter will be quite thick but you should have just enough liquid to mix in all the cake mix. If for some reason it's just too dry, try adding a tad more oil or water or milk, 1 tbsp at a time. Pour into pan. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

I just got a brownie cookbook that had RV Brownies in them that looked interesting. It didn’t have the beautiful red that yours does though.

Ooh. I really need to try making them from scratch. I just hate working with the red dye. I always end up staining my hands. It’s probably better if it’s not such a bright red, less food coloring. heheh

What size pan was used? 8″, 9″ square? 9 x 13 cake pan?

I used a brownie edge pan. But you can bake it in a 9 square for thicker brownies or a 9 x 13 for thinner brownies.

Do you add anything else? I tried making them and the batter wasn’t batter. It was too thick to even soak up all the cake mix… =[

The batter should be thick but you should have enough liquid to soak up all the dry cake mix. Try adding a tad more oil or a tablespoon or 2 of milk. The batter definitely will be quite thick.
