Description
Indulge in the rich and fudgy delight of these Red Velvet Brownies, which combine the classic flavors of chocolate with a vibrant red hue for a truly irresistible treat.
Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar: 4 ounces
- Granulated Sugar: 1 cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- White Vinegar: 1 teaspoon
- Red Food Coloring: 1 tablespoon (adjust for shade)
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: 1/3 cup
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting it hang over the edges for easy lifting.
- Combine butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
- While the chocolate is still warm, add granulated sugar and stir until well incorporated. Whisk in eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla extract, vinegar, and red food coloring until the batter reaches your desired shade.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet ingredients, ensuring no lumps remain without overmixing.
- Pour the batter into your lined baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely before lifting them from the pan. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares for neat edges.
Notes
- Be careful not to overbake to maintain fudginess.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
