Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, extending the excess over the sides. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate: Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat butter and oil in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chocolate, let sit, then whisk until smooth.
- Prepare batter: Whisk sugars, eggs, vanilla, food coloring, and vinegar. Add chocolate mixture, then fold in flour, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt.
- Bake: Pour batter into pan, bake for 20 minutes, remove and slam pan on surface, then bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until fudgy. Cool in pan.
- Frost: Once cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting.
Notes
- For extra richness, you can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
