Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies : 

Preparation time : 15 minutes

Cooking time:30 minutes 

Serves : 6

Ingredients:

For the BROWNIE LAYER:

All purpose flour- 3 1/4 cups

Granulated sugar-2 1/4 cups

Cocoa powder-3tbsp(sifted)

Salt-1 tsp

Baking powder-1/2 tsp

Egg-3

Flavourless vegetable oil-1 cup( i used olive oil)

Milk-4 tbsp

Vanilla extract-1 tbsp

Red food colouring-1 tbsp( you can use concentrated beet juice if you want)

White vinegar-2 tsp

For the CREAM CHEESE LAYER

Cream cheese-360 gms

Granulated white sugar-  3/4 cup

Eggs-2

Vanilla extract-2 tsps

Method:

1. First, line your baking tray with butter paper and grease it well with butter.

2.Sift flour,cocoa powder,sugar,salt,baking powder in a bowl and make a well in the center.

3.In a seperate bowl, add the eggs and whisk well.

4.On top of the beaten eggs,add oil,2 tbsp of milk, vanilla extract,vinegar and the food colouring. Whisk well.

5.Pour this liquid mixture into the well of the dry mixture.

6. Using a spatula, mix gently so that all ingredients are combined. You will get a thick,oily dough like consistency.

7. Remove 3/4 cup of batter and transfer to another bowl. Add the remaining milk ,mix and keep it aside .

8. Spread the thick brownie batter into the prepared baking tray and evenly spread it out. Try and use a larger tray. I made the mistake of using a smaller tray and had to increase the cooking time.

9.Let us prepare the cream cheese layer. Add the cream cheese in hour electric mixer and beat till the cheese becomes soft and fluffy.

10. Add the sugar to the cream cheese and beat on medium high speed for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture becomes pale,soft and fluffy.

11. Add egg one by one and beat upto 1 min after each egg.

12. Now, pour this batter on top of the brownie batter and spread to smoothen the top.

13. Now pour the red velvet batter with a tbsp. Leave some gap between each spoon.

14. Using a knife draw some swirls.

15. In a preheated oven, bake the brownies for 30 minutes at 180 degrees C or until the cheese stops bubbling . The sides starting to brown is also an indication. Do use a large tray.

16. Cool on the wire rack. I had cut them into squares and heart shape. Whatever the shape, the taste is simply finger licking good!
