Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter Ensure fully melted for a smooth batter.
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Use good-quality for best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup roasted cherries Use freshly roasted for optimal flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, melt the butter, then mix in the sugar until well blended. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring in the vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and some lumps are okay.
  6. Fold in the roasted cherries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to the corners.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Allow to cool for a bit, slice into squares, and serve warm for the best experience.

Notes

Check the brownies at the 25-minute mark to avoid over-baking. For an added treat, consider sprinkling some sea salt on top before serving.
