Substitutions:

Red Velvet Brownie Recipe:

Making these red velvet brownies with frosting is incredibly simple, and you probably already have everything you need. If you need to make any substitutions for this brownie recipe, here they are.

• Butter: I prefer unsalted “sweet cream” butter in almost all of my baking recipes. This is the most common and readily available butter in the United States. If necessary, use salted butter (without the additional salt) or a dairy-free butter that you prefer.
• Sugar: This recipe has not been tested with substitute sugars. Maple sugar is a good refined sugar-free replacement.
• For this red velvet bundt cake, I used Americolor’s red gel food coloring.
• This recipe works well with gel food coloring. However, if you don’t mind the cake having a more muted reddish hue, use a plant-based food coloring.

• Vinegar: This is optional but suggested for a true red velvet flavor.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder is ideal for making red velvet brownies.
• Eggs: This is a crucial component for these rich red brownies. This recipe hasn’t been tried without eggs.
• Flour: This hasn’t been tested using alternative flours. If this cake needs to be gluten free, use a good 1-1 cup all purpose flour alternative. Measure by weight rather than cups as gluten free flour tends to weigh a bit more than all purpose flour.
• Cream Cheese: Use mascarpone cheese as an alternative, a plant based cream cheese for a diary free option or simply coat the completed brownies with powdered sugar.
• Powdered Sugar: I propose Swerve or Lakanto if you need a lower sugar powdered sugar alternative.

Learn how to create red velvet brownies with cream cheese icing in a few simple steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper on the bottom and two sides. Place the unsalted butter in a heat-safe bowl. Heat the butter until completely melted.
• This can be done either in a “bain marie” or in the microwave. If using a microwave, heat the mixture for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each heating interval, until completely melted and mixed. Mix in the granulated sugar until thoroughly mixed.
• Whisk together the red gel food coloring, vanilla essence, and vinegar until thoroughly incorporated. Evenly distribute the brownie batter in the prepared pan.
• Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. Cool the brownies in their pan for 30 minutes. Remove the brownies from the pan and let them cool fully before decorating with the cream cheese icing.
• To make the cream cheese frosting for brownies, mix the butter and cream cheese until frothy and properly incorporated. Pour in the vanilla essence, powdered sugar, and one teaspoon milk. Beat the cream cheese frosting until it is creamy and well mixed.
• Spread the cream cheese icing on top of the completely cooled red brownies. If the frosting is too warm or soft, refrigerate the frosted brownies for 20-30 minutes. Slice, and enjoy!
