Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies (Printable Version)

Delight in moist, fudgy brownies with classic red velvet flavor and a rich chocolate finish.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, chopped
02 - 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
03 - 2 cups granulated sugar
04 - 3 large eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
06 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
07 - 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring

→ Dry Ingredients

08 - 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
09 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a microwave-safe large bowl, melt butter and chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, whisking until smooth.
03 - Add granulated sugar to the melted butter and chocolate mixture; blend on medium speed with an electric mixer until combined.
04 - Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition; then stir in vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring.
05 - Sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt in a separate large bowl.
06 - Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined without over-mixing.
07 - Transfer batter evenly into prepared pan, scraping down the sides with a spatula; bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, approximately 30 to 35 minutes.
08 - Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan at room temperature before slicing into 16 squares using a sharp knife.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Do not over-mix the batter to preserve a tender and fudgy texture.
02 - Use gel food coloring for a vibrant red hue without altering batter consistency.
03 - Test doneness with a toothpick; a few moist crumbs indicate perfect fudginess.
