Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing. Optional: add chocolate chips or nuts on top before baking for extra texture.

- Do not overbake to keep brownies fudgy and moist.
- Add white chocolate chips or chopped nuts for additional texture and sweetness.
- Ensure red food coloring is fresh for vibrant color.
