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
Marshmallow Swirl
- 1/2 cup marshmallow cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan to ensure the brownies don’t stick after baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat in two large eggs until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet egg mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add Red Velvet Cake Mix: Stir in the red velvet cake mix gently until just combined, ensuring the batter maintains a nice texture with a deep red color.
- Spread Batter in Pan: Pour and evenly spread the prepared batter into the greased 9×9 inch baking pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Add Marshmallow Swirl: Dollop the marshmallow cream over the batter in several spoonfuls. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the marshmallow cream gently into the brownie batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares to serve.
Notes
- Ensure the brownies are fully cooled before cutting to achieve clean slices and prevent the marshmallow swirl from smearing.
- Using a toothpick to test doneness is crucial to avoid overbaking, which can dry out the brownies.
- For extra festive presentation, sprinkle red velvet cake crumbs or edible glitter on top after swirling the marshmallow cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
