Red Velvet Brownies

Red Velvet Brownies

I looked up a lot of recipes and pieced together a few to create my own. I'll keep the blabbing to a minimum today and get right into the recipe.

What You'll Need:

• 10 tablespoons butter, melted (rougly a stick and a quarter)
• 1 cup white sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• ¼ cup buttermilk
• ½ teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons red food coloring
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon of salt

Cream Cheese Icing:

• 4 oz of cream cheese
• 2 cups of powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons of milk
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract

Directions

Cream butter and cream cheese until smooth, add in powdered sugar. Mix in both extracts. Use milk to thin out the mixture, you may need more than recommended or less. Depending on how fluid you like your icing to be. I then put mine in a piping bag and drizzle over brownies.

8. Add food coloring and mix to combine.
9. Add flour and salt.
10. Mix until smooth and well combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl so that all dry ingredients are incorporated.
11. Pour batter into prepared pan.
12. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
13. Remove brownies and let cool.
14. Drizzle with cream cheese icing and sprinkle with pecans
15. Cut brownies into squares.
