Black Forest Cherry & Chocolate Brownies
Jumping straight out of the 1970s, these are a true delight. Made with a classic fudgy brownie recipe, chocolate chunks and lots of fresh cherries, these are so fun. I highly recommend eating whilst still warm with a classic vanilla ice cream. Also delightful when cool! This recipe is baked in an 8" square pan, and is easily doubled.

Ingredients
- 100 g Dark Chocolate Melted
- 170 g Butter Melted
- 100 g Granulated Sugar
- 100 g Light Brown Sugar
- 2 Medium Eggs
- 90 g Plain Flour
- 30 g Cocoa Powder
- 100 g Cherries Pitted and Roughly Chopped
- 100 g Milk Chocolate Chopped
- 25 g Milk Chocolate Optional (to decorate)
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6. Line an 8" Square Pan with greaseproof paper.
- In a small bowl, break up the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between to make sure it doesn't burn.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and both sugars. With an electric/stand mixer, go for a solid 3-5minutes so it is totally combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time and mixing in between.
- Now, add the chocolate slowly (check it first, to make sure it isn't so hot that it will cook the eggs) and combine once again.
- Add the flour and cocoa powder, plus a pinch of salt. Fold gently into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the chopped cherries and chocolate. Pour the batter into the lined pan.
- Bake approx 30-35 minutes. Remove pan from oven once cooked, and leave the brownies in the pan on a wire rack until totally cooled. Then slice and serve!
- Optional: Melt 25g Milk Chocolate and use a teaspoon to drizzle over the brownies for decoration.
