Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and red food coloring. Whisk together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring the color is even throughout.
- Stir in Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder and all-purpose flour into the wet mixture. Gently fold and stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain fudgy texture.
- Bake Until Fudgy but Set: Pour the batter into a greased 8×8-inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Do not overbake to keep brownies moist and fudgy.
- Use high-quality red food coloring for the best vibrant color.
- Allow brownies to cool completely for cleaner slicing.
- Optional: Top with cream cheese frosting for a classic red velvet finish.
