Soft & Chewy Red Velvet Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Soft, chewy and totally rich, these Red Velvet Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting are delightful! Super simple to make and easy to decorate for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday! I love recipes that can be made holiday-ish or made for everyday consumption. In the past, I was all about completely unique desserts using seasonal ingredients like Cadbury eggs or the flavor-of-the-moment Oreos. But I realize not everyone has access to those ingredients, which renders basically the whole recipe useless.

So now, I love making what we bloggers call “evergreen content.” This basically means it’s content that never really goes out of style year after year, or even within the seasons. And these Red Velvet Brownies most certainly fit that bill! Ingredients FOR THE BROWNIES:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, cubed
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ounce (one bottle) red food coloring

FOR CREAM CHEESE ICING:

• 2 Tbsp butter, softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 & ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9x13" rectangular baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat until melted. Let cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in the brown sugar until combined. Quickly whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla, cocoa powder, baking soda, flour and red food coloring until a soft batter comes together. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.
3. Bake for approx. 22-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, not wet, crumbs. Cool completely.
