# Ingredients:
01 -
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
02 -
1 cup butter, melted and unsalted.
03 -
4 large eggs.
04 -
2 cups sugar (granulated).
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
06 -
½ teaspoon baking powder.
07 -
1 teaspoon cocoa powder.
08 -
1 teaspoon red food coloring.
09 -
½ teaspoon salt.
10 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened.
11 -
1 large egg.
12 -
¼ cup sugar (granulated).
13 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
# Steps:
01 -
Turn the oven to 350°F (175°C) and get a 9x13-inch pan ready by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it up.
02 -
Combine melted butter with granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until blended well.
03 -
Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add vanilla and the red food coloring, stirring well.
04 -
Take a different bowl and whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
05 -
Slowly fold the dry mix into the wet one, being cautious not to over-stir — stop once it’s just combined.
06 -
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 9x13-inch pan, spreading it out evenly.
07 -
Use a medium bowl to beat the softened cream cheese until creamy. Add sugar, the egg, and vanilla, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.
08 -
Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter in dollops, then grab a knife or toothpick to swirl it through the batter for a marbled look.
09 -
Pop it in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick — you’re looking for moist crumbs, not wet batter.
10 -
Leave the finished brownies in the pan to cool for about 15 minutes before moving them to a rack to cool completely.
11 -
Cut your brownies into squares once cooled and dig into those Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies!
