Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.
2. In a bowl, mix together melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, food coloring, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
5. While the brownies cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
6. Once the brownies are cooled, spread the frosting evenly on top. Cut into squares and serve.
