Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter. Stir in the vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder to remove lumps and combine evenly.
- Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 28–32 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares for serving. This helps them set perfectly and enhances their fudgy texture.
Notes
- For extra decadence, swirl in some cream cheese mixture before baking or top with cream cheese frosting after cooling.
- Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant red hue that won’t affect the batter’s consistency.
- These brownies taste even better the next day, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
