RED VELVET SWIRL BROWNIES


Something close to my heart
Wanted to try the awesomest swirl brownies...
Here they are

Recipe:
All Purpose Flour - 1cup/130gm approx
Baking Powder- 1 tsp
Cocoa Powder - 3tbsp
Salt pinch
Softened Butter - 2 tbsp
White Granulated Sugar - ½ cup/100 gm approx.
milkmaid - 100 grams
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Milk- 1/3 cup/80 ml
Liquid Red Food Color - 2 ½ tsp
Melted Chocolate, 50 grams approx. (make sure it’s warm when you add it; cold or room temperature chocolate will freeze over the batter)(I used white choc, you can use dark/milk)
Tooth Pick, to make swirls

METHOD:
Take a 9”x9” square aluminum tin and brush it with butter. Set this aside.
Sift together flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt, and mix them until the cocoa powder is combined properly with the others. Set this aside to be used later.
In a separate bowl, whisk butter until light in color and a little fluffy. Add in the white granulated sugar and whisk again (5 minutes with hand and 2-3 minutes with mixer). The sugar must be completely covered with butter and the mixture will look pale in color. Dissolve sugar as much as you can by whisking.
Add milkmaid and vanilla essence, and whisk again until everything is combined.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
Start adding the dry mixture that you set aside in the first step to this. Keep alternating with milk so that the batter does not dry out. Mix using a spatula or a wooden spoon (NO WHISK)
Add in the red liquid food color and incorporate that with the batter until completely combined.
Pour this batter to the prepared tin. Now start dropping the chocolate over the batter in lines. First line should have 3 drops, second line will have 2 drops and so on.
Swirl 3 times using a toothpick. First time, swirl from top to bottom in continuous motions. Meaning once you run the toothpick through the chocolate drop in the first line, take a U-turn and run the toothpick through the dots on the second line. Second time, swirl from right to left in the same way. Third time, swirl from top to bottom in a continuous manner again.
Bake the brownie in the preheated oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
Let the brownies cool down for about an hour before cut them.
