Instructions
 

Prepare the Oven and Pan

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.

Make the Red Velvet Brownie Batter

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and vinegar. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Stir in red food coloring until desired color is achieved.

Prepare the Cheesecake Swirl

  • In a separate bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, and corn syrup until smooth and creamy. Stir in the buttermilk.

Assemble and Bake

  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the brownie batter. Using a toothpick or knife, swirl the cream cheese mixture into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Red Velvet Gooey Butter Bars

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest flavor.
  • Don't overmix the brownie batter; overmixing can lead to tough bars.
  • For a more intense red color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting to prevent them from crumbling.
