Red Velvet Cake Mix Brownies
With just 5 ingredients, you can make these red velvet brownies with cake mix in under 30 minutes! They have a rich, fudgy red velvet base with a sweet cream cheese swirl.
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz boxed red velvet cake mix
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to blend cake mix, oil, and eggs. Spread this mixture in a glass baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
- Micowave cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl for 30 seconds. Stir, and keep microwaving in 30 second increments until cream cheese is stirrable. Stir in powdered sugar.
- Pour this mixture over the top of the brownie batter. Gently swirl the cream cheese in with a butter knife.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until top starts to brown.
- Allow brownies to cool for 30-60 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to swirl the cream cheese all the way to the edge of the baking dish before baking.
- Don't over-swirl the cream cheese - it will lose that pretty contrast if you over-mix.
- These can be made in a 7x11" glass baking dish or an 8x8" glass baking dish with similar results. You an use a 9x13" pan, but you'll get thinner, crispier brownies.
