# Ingredients Required:

→ Fats and Chocolate

01 - 170 grams unsalted butter, melted
02 - 57 grams chopped semi-sweet chocolate

→ Sugars and Flavorings

03 - 250 grams granulated sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 10 milliliters vanilla extract
06 - 5 milliliters white vinegar
07 - 7.5 milliliters red gel food coloring

→ Dry Ingredients

08 - 15 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
09 - 156 grams all-purpose flour
10 - 1.25 milliliters salt

→ Optional Add-ins

11 - 90 grams white chocolate chips

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line an 20x20 cm baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
03 - Add granulated sugar to the melted mixture and stir to combine. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, white vinegar, and red food coloring.
04 - In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing. Fold in white chocolate chips if using.
06 - Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
07 - Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 16 squares. Optionally, drizzle melted white chocolate on top and let set before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use a high-quality red food coloring to enhance the red velvet flavor. Avoid overbaking to maintain moistness. White chocolate chips can be omitted for a classic result.
