When it comes to brownies, I always avoid box mixes. I have used a box mix to make my Chocolate Orange Mocha Cake but, I never bake my brownies with a cake mix. There is something so amazing about scratch brownies!
I have even skipped the cream cheese frosting on top! Yes. These are Red Velvet Brownies without Cream Cheese.
Cream Cheese has such a sharp flavor that it overpowers everything else. But, feel free to use my homemade cream cheese frosting recipe and frost your cooled brownies.
Is Cake Mix same as Brownie Mix?
No. Absolutely NOT. Both Cake Mix and Brownie mix are totally different. Like poles apart. Although they look totally the same.
Cake needs more leavening agent because cake needs to rise. But, in case of brownies you need less leavening.
So, you cannot use your red velvet cake mix to make these decadent red velvet brownies.
Red velvet brownies are a classic Southern confection. Decadent red velvet brownies with white chocolate chips provide an extra dose of fudge. Perfect for Christmas, Valentine's day, or just any other day when you're craving chocolate.
I bake this often. Especially when I am craving some rich chocolaty flavors! I quickly bake a batch of these red velvet brownies. And, they get ready in less than 30-minutes.
It takes about 10-minutes to prepare the brownie batter. And, then it takes another 20-minutes in the oven! Finally, I give my brownies, about 10-15 more minutes so that they cool down.
You should always cut your brownie when it has cooled down completely. My trick to cool it down faster is to leave it in a room with AC turned on! Since these are the winter months, so what I do, is bake my brownies, and keep them in a room. Turn on the AC. And let it stay for 30-minutes.
Another trick to make sure your brownies have a perfect square shape is to use a plastic or a serrated knife to cut your Red velvet brownies. And wipe the knife with a kitchen towel in between each cut.
This is surely one of the easiest Christmas Desserts or Valentine's Day Desserts that you can bake in no time. In case you are making it for Christmas, you can add your Cream Cheese frosting and then decorate with Red and Green Holiday Sprinkles.
