Equipment

  • 8" square baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • large mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • whisk
  • sharp knife or cherry pitter
  • Sieve

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 large eggs ideally at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup flavorless oil such as sunflower oil or canola oil
  • 2 tablespoon amarena cherry syrup or kirsch liqueur
  • ⅔ cup all purpose flour or plain flour
  • ⅔ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup powdered sugar or icing sugar
  • ½ cup superfine granulated sugar or caster sugar
  • 5 oz fresh cherries stems removed, cut in half and pits removed
  • 2 oz dark chocolate chips or chopped solid chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (165/145C Fan) and lining a square baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients - the eggs, oil and cherry syrup (or liqueur).
    2 large eggs, ⅓ cup flavorless oil, 2 tablespoon amarena cherry syrup
  • Sift together the flour, powdered sugar, superfine granulated sugar and cocoa powder. This can either be sifted straight into the large mixing bowl of wet ingredients or into a separate mixing bowl to then be added into the wet ingredients.
    ⅔ cup all purpose flour, ⅔ cup cocoa powder, ½ cup powdered sugar, ½ cup superfine granulated sugar
  • Once the dry ingredients have been added to the egg mixture, stir this together using a spatula until it has just combined into a thick brownie batter.
  • Reserve about a third of the cherry halves and a third of the chocolate chips. Add the rest of these to the batter and fold through.
    5 oz fresh cherries, 2 oz dark chocolate chips
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and carefully spread into an even layer.
  • Place the reserved cherries on top of the batter and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely (at least 2 hours) before slicing.
