Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix melted butter and 1 cup sugar until combined. Add eggs, vanilla, and red food coloring; stir until smooth.
Whisk in cocoa powder, salt, and vinegar. Fold in flour until fully incorporated. Set aside 1/4 cup of batter for the topping.
Pour the remaining batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolk, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter. Drop spoonfuls of the reserved red velvet batter on top and swirl with a knife.
Bake for 28–30 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
