Ingredients
Brownies:
432 grams red velvet cake mix
140 grams unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, room temperature
30 grams buttermilk, room temperature
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
135 grams dark chocolate chips, melted
Cream Cheese Frosting:
226 grams cream cheese, softened to room temperature
85 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
300 grams confectioners’ sugar
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
To make the brownie base start by whisking melted butter, room-temperature eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract, in a bowl until they are well combined.
Next, add the chocolate to the mixture and stir it until it becomes smooth.
Gradually fold in the red velvet cake mix making sure not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
Take a 9×9 inch baking pan. Line it with parchment paper. Spread the batter evenly across the pan.
Put the pan with the batter in the refrigerator for an hour to allow it to set.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the brownie base for around 20 to 25 minutes. Until you notice that the edges have set.
Once done let the brownies cool completely while they are still in the pan.
For the cream cheese frosting take another bowl. Beat together some room-temperature cream cheese and butter until they become light and fluffy.
Gradually add confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract and salt into this mixture while continuing to beat until everything’s smooth.
After your brownies have cooled down completely spread a layer of frosting over their surface.
Finally cut them into squares.
Enjoy these Red Velvet Brownies, with Cream Cheese Frosting!
