Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your brownies bake evenly.
  2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
  3. Make the Red Velvet Brownie Mixture:
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  8. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
  9. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  10. Assemble:
  11. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  12. Dollop the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it gently.
  13. Finally, pour the remaining brownie batter on top, swirling it slightly to create a marbled effect.
  14. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs (not wet batter).
  15. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and cutting into squares.
