Chocolate brownie with cherries is a delicious dessert that will delight the true sweet tooth. The classic version of this confectionery miracle was born at the end of the 19th century in America, thanks to ... a woman's whim. The fact is that in 1893, a wealthy lady planning to visit the World's Columbian Exhibition asked the chef of a Chicago hotel to prepare a dessert that she could take with her as a pleasant snack. The task was accomplished brilliantly: a chocolate cake with an amazing dense juicy texture was born. Since then, this dessert, which was called “brownie” (from the English brown - “brown”) has been on the top list of the most popular American delicacies, second only to charlotte. At home, they like to cook his dishes with pecans or peanuts, but everyone who has tried it likes the variant with cherries, which goes perfectly with chocolate!

How to cook Chocolate brownie with cherries

Step 1

Prepare the brownie dough. Break up the chocolate and place in a fireproof bowl. Butter cut into cubes. Add to chocolate and melt everything together in a hot water bath. Let it cool down a bit.

Step 2

Beat the eggs with a mixer until fluffy. Combine with chocolate butter. Beat again. Add powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Sift flour for brownie dough together with baking powder through a fine sieve into a separate small bowl. Add to chocolate mixture and mix very well.

Step 4

Pour the cherries into a large bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and stir gently to distribute evenly over fruit. Add to chocolate batter. Stir again.

Step 5

Heat the oven to 180°C. Line a 20cm x 20cm rectangular tin with good parchment paper. It is better if it is siliconized: brownie will definitely not stick to such a dough.

Step 6

Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared pan and smooth out. Bake for about 30 minutes. Remember that inside the "correct" brownie should remain slightly moist.

Step 7

Remove the baked brownie base and let cool completely. Then wrap in foil and refrigerate for 1 hour. After that, coarsely chop and serve brownies on the table.

Chocolate brownie with cherries - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen cherries instead of fresh ones?

Yes, frozen cherries work well. Just thaw and drain them before using to avoid excess moisture in the batter.

How should I store these brownies and how long will they last?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend in equal amounts. Ensure your baking powder is gluten-free too.

What's the best way to cut brownies cleanly?

Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts. For best results, chill the brownies slightly before cutting.

Can I double this recipe for a larger batch?

How can I tell when the brownies are done baking?

The edges should be set and a toothpick inserted 1 inch from the edge should come out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). The center will firm up as it cools.
