  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for the cream cheese mixture)
  • 1 egg (for the cream cheese mixture)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for the cream cheese mixture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium bowl and whisk in the sugar until fully combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until evenly blended.
  5. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  6. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  9. Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the brownie batter and swirl gently.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
