Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup red velvet cake mix
Swirl
- 1/2 cup marshmallow cream
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
- Create Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet egg mixture, stirring gently until the batter is well blended. Then, fold in the red velvet cake mix just until incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Layer Batter and Add Swirl: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Spoon dollops of marshmallow cream on top in various spots and use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the marshmallow into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares. This helps the brownies set and makes for cleaner slices.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is fully melted but not hot when mixing with eggs to prevent cooking them prematurely.
- Use a gentle folding motion when combining the cake mix to avoid deflating the batter.
- You can substitute marshmallow cream with mini marshmallows for a chunkier texture swirl.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to a week.
- For extra richness, consider adding 1/4 cup finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
