Ingredients:

For the brownies:

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 tablespoon red food coloring (liquid or gel)

For the cream cheese swirl:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.

5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

6. 
   

7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

8. 
   

9. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is incorporated.

1. Stir in the red food coloring until the batter is evenly tinted and has the desired red velvet color.

2. 
   

3. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

4. 
   

5. In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

6. 
   

7. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture onto the brownie batter in the baking dish.

8. 
   

9. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter, creating a marbled pattern.

10. 
    

11. Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the brownies to remain fudgy.

12. 
    

13. Once the brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes.

14. 
    

15. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the Red Velvet Brownies have cooled, cut them into squares and serve. These delightful treats are perfect for any time you crave the luscious combination of red velvet and brownies. Enjoy
