Even the most dedicated of people have their weaknesses. One of mine is red velvet anything. I was dead set on making a Red Velvet King Cake for tomorrow, and I still might, but the idea got my taste buds craving and I wanted something a little less labor intensive.

I ran my 10K training (38 min) without a single pause today, did a very intense 40 minute yoga sesh and I skipped my Sunday cheat meal in favor of chicken crust pizza, so I figured why not treat myself, my babe and a couple friends to some yummy, chewy, baked, red deliciousness??

Fat Tuesday only comes around once a year and I’m not really about to feel guilty about 1 or 3 of these with all the work I’m doing. Like I will keep saying; life is about balance.

Let’s jump right into the recipe. I still have stuff to do before my shift at 5.

What You Need:

BROWNIE LAYER:

2 sticks unsalted butter, melted

2 cup sugar

1.5 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 tablespoon red food coloring

4 eggs

2 c flour

CHEESECAKE LAYER:

2 blocks of cream cheese, room temp

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

What You Do:

Preheat oven to 350.

Spray a 9×13 cake pan with oil.

Just throw all the ingredients for the brownie into a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer.

Spread brownie mix into pan.

Mix all cheesecake ingredients in a bowl.

Drop in dollops over brownie batter and use a butter knife to swirl.

Bake 30 minutes.

Cool completely before cutting. I waited 2 hours.

You have to indulge yourself every once in awhile. This is a shareable batch, but if you have no friends or no control, just make a half recipe and call it a good day. They can also be frozen and thawed to enjoy at a later date.

I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!!

Much Love, Chelle❤️
