Red Velvet Brownies

Sorry I forgot to post a recipe for Food Fridays before I left on my road trip yesterday - but here is something I found on line which I think would be perfect for the holidays. http://thatskinnychickcanbake.blogspot.com/2011/04/red-velvet-brownies-with-white.html




Red Velvet Brownies with White Chocolate Frosting

1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350. Line 8 x 8 pan with nonstick foil or regular foil. Grease regular foil with cooking spray if using.

In a small bowl, mix cocoa powder, food coloring and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla to form a paste. Set aside.

With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, then add second teaspoon of vanilla. With mixer on medium, beat in cocoa paste. Add flour and salt, and mix just until combined.

Spread in pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool before frosting.
