Creating these delightful Red Velvet Brownies is simple if you follow these steps:

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Add eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
4. Incorporate Dry Mixture: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
9. Frost Brownies: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
10. Slice and Serve: Once the frosting is set, slice the brownies into squares. Enjoy!
