Red Velvet Brownies
- 150 g Unsalted Butter
- 275 g Caster Sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Red Food Colouring
- 4 Medium Eggs
- 30 g Cocoa Powder
- 125 g Plain Flour
- 1 tsp White Wine Vinegar
Cheesecake Swirl
- 250 g Full-Fat Cream Cheese
- 75 g Caster Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg Yolk
Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan and line a 9x9" square tin with parchment paper!
Beat together your Butter and Sugar until combined!
Add in the Vanilla and Red Food Colouring - I find it easier to mix these two together to make a thinner paste, and then mix into the Butter/Sugar!
Add in the Eggs one at a time, beating each time. Add in the Cocoa Powder, and Flour, and beat again.
Finally, add in the White Wine Vinegar - and mix. You want to mix this mixture as little as possible!
In a separate bowl, add your Cream Cheese, Sugar and Vanilla and beat till smooth. Add in the Egg Yolk and mix again!
Pour 90% of your Brownie Mixture into the tin - dollop over the cream cheese mix, and then dollop over the last little bit of Brownie Mix
Swirl the mixture together - and then bake in the oven for 28-35 minutes. Mine were in for 30!
Leave to cool in the tin for 20-30 minutes or so, and then cool fully on a wire rack!
