For an extra fudgy brownie, slightly underbake them. They will continue to set as they cool. Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Gel food coloring provides a more intense red color compared to liquid food coloring. Adjust the amount to your preference. If you don’t have cider vinegar, white vinegar or lemon juice can be used as a substitute. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon of butter. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sugar and the melted butter until well combined. (2 minutes)
03
StepAdd vanilla extract, cocoa powder, salt, red food coloring, and cider vinegar to the sugar mixture. Blend well after each addition to ensure even distribution. (3 minutes)
04
StepGently stir in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Reserve 1/3 cup of this brownie batter for creating swirls on top of the cream cheese layer. (5 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar (for frosting), egg, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)
06
StepPour the remaining brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. (3 minutes)
07
StepDollop the reserved 1/3 cup of brownie batter in 2 rows over the cream cheese layer. Use a knife or skewer to pull through the batter rows, swirling them into the cream cheese layer to create a marbled effect. (5 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. (35 minutes)
09
StepLet the brownies cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into squares. This is crucial for achieving clean cuts and preventing the brownies from falling apart. (60 minutes)
