Ingredients
All-purpose flour
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Granulated sugar
Unsalted butter
Eggs
Vanilla extract
Red gel food coloring
White vinegar
Baking powder
Salt
White chocolate chips (optional)
Cream cheese (optional, for swirl or frosting)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt butter and chocolate together until smooth, then let it cool slightly.
3. In a bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until light and fluffy to create a shiny top crust.
4. Add vanilla extract, red gel food coloring, and vinegar to the egg mixture and mix well.
5. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt, then gradually fold into the wet mixture.
6. Gently mix in the melted butter and chocolate until fully combined.
7. If using, fold in white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
9. Bake for 25-35 minutes, checking with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing for clean edges.
11. Optionally, top with cream cheese frosting for added richness before serving.
Notes
Use gel food coloring to achieve a deep red hue without altering the batter’s consistency.
Whip eggs and sugar together to create a shiny, crackly top crust.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for clean and precise slices.
