Cheesecake Swirled Red Velvet Brownies: An Incredible 7-Layer Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Prepare the Brownie Base: In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and red food coloring. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  6. Layer the Mixtures: Pour half of the red velvet brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. Spoon dollops of the cheesecake mixture over the brownie batter.
  7. Swirl the Cheesecake: Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cheesecake layer. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the cheesecake mixture into the brownie batter for a marbled effect.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
  9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and Serve: Once completely cooled, slice the brownies into squares and enjoy!
