Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Brownie Mixture
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Hot fudge topping
  • 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Batter Mixture
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  2. Stir in the red food coloring until your batter is a vibrant shade of red.
Assembly
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of hot fudge sauce on top of the batter. Using a knife, gently swirl the fudge into the batter to create a marbled effect.
Baking
  1. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For freezing, wrap individual brownies and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
