Making The Best Fudgy Red Velvet Brownies is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until you achieve a smooth brownie batter.
5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out slightly moist.
6. Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper.
7. Make Frosting: In a bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and an additional teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
8. Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies are cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
9. Slice: Cut the brownies into squares for easy serving.
