Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to ensure your brownies come out cleanly.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to make sure everything is evenly distributed, which helps with an even texture throughout the brownies.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat together melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs one by one, stirring well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract, buttermilk, and red food coloring until the mixture is smooth and vibrant.
  4. Merge Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into your wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; just combine everything until you no longer see dry streaks for a tender texture.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to maintain the fudgiest texture.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. This cooling step helps them set properly and develop that irresistible fudgy consistency everyone loves.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder to deepen the chocolate flavor and complement the red velvet perfectly.
  • Melt butter gently to avoid burning, either on low heat or in short bursts in the microwave.
  • Don’t skip buttermilk as it provides the tangy note and soft crumb unique to red velvet.
  • Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to prevent dry brownies.
  • Check baking time early starting 5 minutes before the timer ends as oven temperatures vary.
  • Let brownies cool fully before cutting to prevent crumbling and preserve fudgy texture.
