Description
These chewy red velvet brownies are topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting, combining rich flavors and a vibrant appearance that makes them perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until well combined. Add the eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While cooling, prepare the frosting by beating the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually adding the powdered sugar and milk until creamy.
- Once the brownies are cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the top.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter for fudgy brownies. Let the brownies cool completely before frosting.
