Two pieces of red velvet brownies stacked on top of each other, one bite taken from the top piece.

Red velvet brownies

These very best red velvet brownies are soft and buttery, with light chocolate and vanilla flavor and a fantastic melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s a little fudgy. This dessert looks festive and can be served on occasions such as Christmas or Valentine's Day.

Equipment

  • 8" by 8" (20cm by 20cm) brownie pan
  • Stand mixer or hand mixer and a large mixing bowl
  • Heat-proof bowl

Ingredients

  • 90 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 60 g white chocolate
  • 60 g milk chocolate
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 120 g white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon red food coloring more if needed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and line an 8" by 8" (20cm by 20cm) brownie pan with parchment paper so the bottom and sides are covered.
  • In a bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the butter, white, and milk chocolate. Heat in a microwave for 10-15 seconds at a time, mixing well with a rubber spatula in between. You can also melt everything in a double boiler.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or you can use a large mixing bowl and a hand mixer), add the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and food coloring. Whip on medium-high for 5 minutes or until fluffy, tripled in volume, and the coloring has fully incorporated.
  • Add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and mix with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated. Then, fold in the dry ingredients just until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownie comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool down in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, lift up holding the parchment paper and place the brownie on a cooling rack to cool down.
  • Cut your slightly warm brownie into 9 even squares and serve.

Notes

Store brownies in an air-tight container at room temperature for up 4 days.
 
You can freeze them for up to 1 month, though freezing and thawing may affect the texture. Therefore, I would suggest avoiding freezing them.
