🍒 Cherry Chocolate Brownies Recipe
These decadent cherry chocolate brownies combine fudgy chocolate with juicy cherries for the perfect sweet and tart dessert experience!
Ingredients
- 4 eggs room temperature
- 150 g caster sugar extra-fine sugar
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 50 g neutral oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 70 g plain flour all-purpose flour
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 100 g salted butter
- 100 g dark chocolate roughly chopped - OR chocolate chips
- 150 g chopped cherries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180℃ (350℉).
- Add 4 eggs and 150 g caster sugar to a large mixing bowl. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whisk the eggs into the sugar for around 4 to 5 minutes, or until pale, fluffy, and aerated.
- Over a bain marie (heatproof bowl over a pot of boiling water) or microwave, heat 100 g dark chocolate and 50 g neutral oil until fully melted.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the eggs along with 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and gently stir through.
- Sift 70 g plain flour and 50 g cocoa powder into the bowl. Use a spatula to fold through. Be gentle; we don't want to deflate the eggs.
- Melt 100 g salted butter in a small pan over low heat, then pour the butter into the batter and stir through.
- Finally, add 100 g dark chocolate (chopped) OR chocolate chips, plus 150 g chopped cherries (de-pitted and halved1). Fold through the batter until evenly distributed.
- Line a 12x7-inch pan2 with baking (greaseproof/parchment) paper. Pour the brownie batter into the pan and spread evenly.
- Bake the cherry chocolate brownies for around 20 minutes. A skewer should come out with moist crumbs, and the middle shouldn't be quite set — it will continue to cook even after you pull the brownies out of the oven.
- Cool the cherry chocolate brownies, then cut into 12 even pieces.
Notes
Tip: As with all my baking recipes, I highly recommend using weighted measures (grams) as opposed to volumetric measures (cups) for more accurate results.
¹ You can cut the cherries into smaller pieces to change the overall appearance and texture of these brownies.
² You can also use an 8x8-inch pan, but the brownies will be thicker, and you'll need to add an extra 5 minutes to the bake time.
