Moist Cherry Brownies with Dark Chocolate
Ingredients
- 1 jar dark sweet cherries (drained weight: 350g)
- 300 g dark chocolate
- 125 g butter
- 3 eggs (medium)
- 200 g brown sugar
- 170 g all-purpose flour
- a pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- butter for greasing the pan
Preparation
Drain the cherries in a colander and let them drain well
Chop the dark chocolate and melt it with butter over a double boiler on low heat
Let the chocolate mixture cool for about 10 minutes
Grease a brownie pan (approximately 28 x 23 cm) or line it with parchment paper
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection: 160°C)
Whisk the eggs with brown sugar until combined
Stir the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture
Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder in a separate bowl
Add the dry ingredients to the batter and stir until just combined
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly
Pat the drained cherries dry with a kitchen towel
Place the cherries on the batter and gently press them into the batter with your hands
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes
Tips
Insert a toothpick to test for doneness; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter
