Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup butter Melted
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 1 large egg Room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish (8x8 or 9x9) with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar until combined.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Stir until well mixed.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix!
- Transfer the brownie batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Baking
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling and Serving
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before lifting them out. Cut into squares and serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of frosting.
Notes
Don’t overbake for fudgy brownies. Consider adding white chocolate chips for creaminess. Top with cream cheese frosting for a classic finish.
