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 and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to ensure even distribution and remove lumps.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually fold the dry cocoa mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until just blended to avoid overmixing.
- Add red velvet cake mix: Stir in the red velvet cake mix until just combined, giving the batter the characteristic vibrant color and flavor.
- Assemble in pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan for even cooking and an even surface for the marshmallow swirl.
- Add marshmallow swirl: Dollop spoonfuls of marshmallow cream onto the batter. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the marshmallow into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack to room temperature before cutting into squares. This helps them set and makes them easier to slice.
Notes
- Use full-fat marshmallow cream for best texture and flavor in the swirl.
- Check brownies a few minutes before the cooking time ends to avoid overbaking and ensure fudgy consistency.
- For a more intense red velvet flavor, ensure the cake mix is fresh and high quality.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
