Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.

- Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
