- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1/4 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
Optional Toppings:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and greasing lightly.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar, mixing until combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Bake: Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Optionally, swirl in cream cheese or sprinkle white chocolate chips on top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Do not overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
- For a more pronounced cocoa flavor, increase cocoa powder to 3 tablespoons.
- Pair with cream cheese frosting for extra decadence.
