Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for frosting
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Stir in the red food coloring until evenly distributed.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy. Add milk a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the brownies are cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly on top. Cut into squares and serve.
