RED VELVET BROWNIES-DENSE & CHEWY TOPPED WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING Recipes

Red Velvet Brownies take the classic chocolate cake and transforms it into a decadent, rich brownie. ‘Velvet’ cake was developed in the late 1800’s. It boasted a smoother texture than traditional cake. Red Velvet Cake came on the scene with the creation of red food coloring in the 1930’s. Many product names incorporate the name “Red Velvet”, including everything from candles to cookies to donuts and of course, brownies!

Like the Red Velvet Brownies allrecipes lists, I’ve traded out the fiddly traditional frosting for an easy, smooth cream cheese frosting. There’s no need to make Red Velvet Brownies from cake mix. That said, if the red velvet brownies Betty Crocker box route is your thing, you can’t go wrong. My easy Red Velvet Brownies are from scratch and utterly delish! Besides being beautifully red, they’re chocolatey, chewy and everything that a proper brownie should be! The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch!
