Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Batter
  • 225 g Unsalted Butter This adds richness and moisture; feel free to substitute with vegetable oil for a lighter texture.
  • 330 g Caster Sugar Provides sweetness and texture; golden caster sugar can give a deeper flavor.
  • 3 tbsp Cocoa Powder Essential for chocolatey goodness; always choose high-quality baking cocoa for the best results.
  • 2 pcs Eggs These help bind the brownies; using organic free-range eggs boosts flavor.
  • 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile; opt for high-quality vanilla for a more aromatic treat.
  • 1.5 tsp Red Food Coloring Gel Gives the brownies their dazzling red hue; a strong gel like Sugarflair works wonders without altering texture.
  • 200 g Plain Flour Provides the necessary structure; do not substitute to maintain the intended fudgy texture.
  • 0.5 tsp Salt Balances the sweetness perfectly; regular table salt will work just fine.
  • 3 tsp White Wine Vinegar Key to that iconic tangy flavor; avoid replacing it with other vinegars for best results.
  • 50 g White Chocolate Optional, adding a drizzle on top complementarily contrasts the tangy brownies.

Equipment

  • 8" square baking tin
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and prepare the baking tin by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 225g (1 cup) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl until completely liquid, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Mix in 330g (1 + 2/3 cups) of caster sugar and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder until well blended.
  3. Beat in 2 eggs, 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1.5 teaspoons of red food coloring gel into the chocolate mixture until uniform.
  4. Gently fold in 200g (1 + 2/3 cups) of plain flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until no flour streaks remain.
  5. Stir in 3 teaspoons of white wine vinegar until well incorporated.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until the top is vibrant, slightly crisp, and a toothpick inserted reveals a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool completely in the tin on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
