Brownies with Cherries

Brownies with Cherries

Mmmmmm…warm, moist, chocolate brownies and refreshing cherries are delicious) I guess chocolate and cherries are a classic and always successful combination. So for fans of all things mega-chocolate and cherry, I highly recommend this recipe. Especially? like almost all brownies, these are also easy and effortless to make. These chocolate bars are delicious to eat with vanilla ice cream, but I used a cherry topping this time. I mixed the cherries with sugar to taste, added a little water and cooked until the sugar dissolved. The sour taste of the syrup sets off the rich flavor of the chocolate very well.

Ingredients:

180g butter
180g chocolate (preferably at least 70% cocoa)
260g sugar
4 eggs
70g cocoa powder
180 grams of flour
¼ tsp. salt
vanilla
Pitted cherries (about two large handfuls)

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

I have a 31×22 cm rectangular dish.

We cut the butter into cubes, break the chocolate into pieces and melt in a water bath or in a microwave. The second method is more convenient for me – it’s faster and less crockery is usedwink I put it on for about 2 minutes, and every 30 seconds I stir it with a silicone spatula, so it doesn’t overheat. Set aside.

Sift in flour, cocoa, and salt. Whisk the eggs and sugar and gently pour into this mixture warm chocolate, continuing to whisk. When the mixture is homogeneous, add the flour mixture, vanilla and knead the dough.

Cover the baking dish with parchment paper, greased with butter. Pour out the dough. Place cherries on top, pressing them slightly into the batter.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the skewers are moist (this is very important!). It’s best to check the brownies more often so you don’t overcook them. Even 3 minutes may be unnecessary. The skewer comes out of the finished brownie with moist crumbs on it.

Enjoy your appetite!
