Ingredients
  

  • For the Red Velvet Layer:
  • Butter: 1/2 cup 1 stick, melted
  • Granulated sugar: 1 cup
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Red food coloring: 1 tablespoon
  • White vinegar: 1 teaspoon
  • Cocoa powder: 1/4 cup
  • All-purpose flour: 3/4 cup
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • For the Cheesecake Swirl:
  • Cream cheese: 8 oz 1 package, softened
  • Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
  • Egg: 1 large
  • Vanilla extract: 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or a light coat of non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth.
  • Add eggs, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and vinegar to the bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
  • Sift cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the wet ingredients. Fold gently to form a smooth batter. Reserve 1/4 cup of this batter for later.
  • In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  • Pour the red velvet batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Dollop the cream cheese mixture on top of the red velvet batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the layers together for a marbled effect.
  • Add small dollops of the reserved red velvet batter on top and incorporate them into the swirl.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
