Description
These fudgy red velvet brownies are not just a treat—they’re an experience that blends indulgence with visual appeal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring (gel preferred)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- White chocolate or cream cheese glaze for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy lifting later. Applying a light layer of grease can make it easier to remove the brownies once they’re fully baked.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter together with the granulated sugar until the mixture appears glossy and well combined. This process incorporates air and gives the brownies a crispy top once baked. Next, crack in the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar, ensuring everything is well blended.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt to break apart any clumps. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Be gentle to keep the batter light and airy. If desired, fold in the white chocolate chips for added richness.
- Once your batter is prepared, transfer it evenly into your lined baking pan. Use the spatula to spread it out evenly, ensuring every corner is filled. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper. Transfer to a cutting board and slice them into squares. You can drizzle with white chocolate or top with a cream cheese glaze for an even more indulgent treat.
Notes
For even fudgier brownies, avoid overbaking. Use gel food coloring for the best results, as it provides a more vibrant color.
