Marshmallow icing:

- 70 g castor sugar (approx. ⅓ cup)
- ¼ tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Process:
Prepare the biscuit base:
- Grease and line a loose-base cake tin with baking paper.
- Ground the biscuits to a fine crumb.
- Mix in the melted butter and castor sugar.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the cake tin and press it in firmly using your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- Set the tin in the fridge so the base hardens.
Make the brownie batter:
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter over a double boiler or in the microwave and cool it down.
- Whisk together the eggs and sugar till airy and pale.
- Add in the melted chocolate and butter and mix.
- Sift in the flour and salt and gently fold it in.
- Pour the batter over the biscuit base and set aside.
Make the red velvet cake batter and bake:
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- Sift the flour, cocoa, sugar and salt into a bowl.
- Add in the vegetable oil and egg and whisk together.
- Mix the yogurt, red food colour and vanilla in a separate bowl.
- Add the yogurt mixture to the main batter.
- Mix vinegar and baking soda in another bowl, then mix it into the main batter.
- Pour the red velvet batter using a spoon over the brownie batter in the tin.
- Bake in at 175°C for 30-35 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool down while you prepare the marshmallow icing.
Make the marshmallow icing and decorate the cake:
- Set some water to boil in a saucepan.
- Mix the egg white, castor sugar, vinegar and salt in a heatproof bowl.
- Bring the water in the saucepan down to a simmer and then place the bowl over it and start to whisk using an electric mixer.
- Whisk for 6-7 minutes until the mixture is double in quantity and all the sugar has dissolved. (Feel the mixture between your fingers for any grains of sugar.)
- Remove the bowl from heat and add in the vanilla and whisk for another 1-2 minutes until you have frosting like consistency.
- Pipe the frosting onto the brownie using a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle.
- Use a blow torch to toast the marshmallow frosting or place it under the hot grill of an oven to brown.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
