Red Velvet Brownies

From cake to hot cocoa, I've loved red velvet-anything. I got pretty excited when I found out that Red Velvet Brownies were a real thing, so I knew that I had to make them at some point. It was even better when Adam kept asking me to make these brownies, especially because he's "not really a sweets person!"

I'd encourage you to make these if you love moist, almost cake-like brownies AND if you love red velvet!

What You Need
Brownie
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- Pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 stick butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What You Do
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8X8 inch baking pan.

2. In a large bowl (and in this order, mixing in between additions), add the butter (1stick), sugar (1cup), vanilla extract (1tsp), cocoa powder (1/4cup), salt, food coloring (1tbsp), and vinegar (1tsp).

3. Whisk the eggs (2) in a small bowl, and stir it into the cocoa mix. Then fold in the flour (3/4cup) until lightly combined. Pour the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean.

4. When the brownies are completely cool, start making your frosting. Beat together the butter (1stick) and cream cheese (8oz) until combined. Then add the powdered sugar (2cups) and vanilla (1tsp) until ingredients are well incorporated.

5. Spread frosting over brownies and enjoy!
