The other day I was looking through one my cookbooks when I came across a recipe for Lemon Brownies. The recipe uses a cake mix and also has a layer of cream cheese on top! As you all know, anything with cream cheese has my attention. I really didn’t want to make lemon so I decided to use a Red Velvet cake mix since I’ve never bought one before. This recipe is very simple and I’m sure with all the cake mix flavors out there the possibilities are endless!

Brownie layer:
Cream cheese layer:
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 9 x 13 pan.
This will be very thick. (You can add a dash of water to make mixing easier if need be.)
Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan; set aside.
Cream together the cream cheese, egg, powdered sugar and vanilla.
Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes; until golden brown or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
Thanks so much for the recipe! I was looking for a recipe for Red Velvet Cake brownies using a cake mix(had one in the pantry) and this fit the bill. Added 1/4c water, otherwise my mix was too dry. Came out delicious!
If you mix your cream cheese mixture in the same bowl as the cake batter it takes on a delightful pink hue… perfect for a Valetine's Day treat!
Thanks so much for the great tip 🙂 I bet they look beautiful!
Just made them ! In the oven now .. That Red Velvet batter kept sticking to my hands as I tried to mush into pan, any pointers for that?
Spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray and the batter won't stick 🙂 I hope you enjoy!
