Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until well combined.
Add eggs, vanilla, red food coloring, and vinegar. Mix until smooth.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
Pour ¾ of the red velvet batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter. Spoon the remaining red velvet batter in dollops over the top.
Use a knife to gently swirl the two batters together for a marbled effect.
Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For extra fudgy brownies, avoid overbaking.
Chill before cutting for cleaner edges.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
