These chocolatey red velvet brownies have a perfect dense and chewy center.
Ingredients
brownies
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, don't use dutch processed
- 1 tsp distilled vinegar
- 1 1/2 - 2 tsp red food coloring
cream cheese frosting:
- 8 oz unsalted butter
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line or grease a 9 x 9 baking pan. Cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add in remaining ingredients and mix until smooth batter forms.
- Batter will be quite thick and sticky. Scoop batter into baking pan and use spatula to spread and smooth out across the pan. Bake for approximately 28-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let brownies cool completely for several hours before cutting and serving, so that they have time to settle and become dense and chewy.
- To make the cream cheese frosting, combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix on high speed until smooth and fluffy.
