Ingredients
- 350g/12oz dark chocolate
- 250g/9oz unsalted butter
- 3 large free-range eggs
- 250g/9oz dark soft brown sugar
- 110g/4oz plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 150g/5½oz fresh cherries
- 150g/5½oz white chocolate
- 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 170C/150C Fan/Gas 3. Grease a 30x23cm/12x9in baking tin with butter then line the base and sides with baking paper.
-
Heat the plain chocolate and butter in a saucepan over a low heat until just melted and well combined, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly (at least 5 minutes).
-
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with the sugar in a large bowl until thick, pale and creamy.
-
Whisk the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then gently fold in the flour, baking powder and half the cherries until just combined.
-
Spoon the brownie mixture into the prepared tin, then scatter over the white chocolate and the remaining cherries.
-
Bake the brownies in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the surface is cracked and a skewer inserted into the centre of the brownies comes out with just a little mixture sticking to it. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely in the tin, on a wire rack.
-
To serve, dust the brownies with cocoa powder, then cut into squares and remove from the tin.
