Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, and red food coloring; mix until smooth.
Incorporate dry ingredients: Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and vinegar until just combined—do not overmix.
Prepare cream cheese swirl: For the cream cheese swirl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.

Notes

For richer flavor, chill overnight before serving.
You can omit the cream cheese swirl for a simpler version.
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with white chocolate for an extra touch.
