Indulge in these fudgy red velvet brownies that combine the rich flavors of chocolate and the vibrant hue of red velvet for a decadent dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a spacious bowl, blend the melted butter with both sugars until smooth and creamy.
- Introduce the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until well combined.
- In a different bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- If desired, mix in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey experience.
- Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
- For an indulgent finish, drizzle cream cheese frosting over the top before serving.
Notes
- Add a festive flair by sprinkling chopped nuts or white chocolate chips on top before baking.
- For an extra treat, serve warm brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
