Moist, fudgy brownies infused with classic red velvet taste and vibrant red color for any occasion.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fats and Chocolates

01 - 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, chopped
02 - 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

→ Sweeteners and Flavors

03 - 2 cups granulated sugar
04 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
05 - 1 tablespoon white vinegar
06 - 2 teaspoons red gel food coloring

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
08 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
09 - 0.25 teaspoon salt

→ Eggs

10 - 4 large eggs

# Steps to Make This:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - Combine chopped butter and semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
03 - Add granulated sugar to the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until fully incorporated.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red gel food coloring until evenly combined.
05 - In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt.
06 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
07 - Pour batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, scraping the bowl with a spatula to incorporate all mixture.
08 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
09 - Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 16 squares.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Use gel food coloring to maintain a vibrant red hue without adding extra liquid. Avoid overmixing batter for a tender, fudgy texture.
02 - Brownies can be stored at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerated up to 7 days, or frozen for 2 months in an airtight container.
