Red Velvet Cheesecake Swirl Brownies: Ingredients

Did you know some people think red velvet cake and chocolate cake is the same thing? Well, that’s far from the truth and its doubly true when it comes to regular brownies and red velvet brownies, so unfortunately you can’t just buy a box of Duncan Hines double fudge brownie mix and add red food color. Instead, head to grocery store and grab the following ingredients.

• 1 cup of white sugar
• ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ounce of red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon of distilled white vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• ¾ cup of all-purpose flour
• 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese at room temperature
• ¼ cup of white sugar
• 1 large egg
• ¼ of teaspoon vanilla extract
