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). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until well blended.
- Add Red Velvet Mix: Gently fold in the red velvet cake mix until just combined to keep the batter light and airy.
- Shape Batter and Add Marshmallow: Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Dollop spoonfuls of marshmallow cream on top. Use a knife to swirl the marshmallow cream into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation.
- Do not overmix the batter once the red velvet cake mix is added to avoid dense brownies.
- You can substitute marshmallow cream with mini marshmallows if preferred; add them towards the end of baking.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
