Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Fresh or frozen cherries (pitted and halved)
- 100 grams Dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until well incorporated.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking each until fully combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the halved cherries and dark chocolate chips or chunks, distributing them evenly through the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies from the pan. Slice into 12 squares or rectangles and serve.
