Cherry Brownies

Step 1 

Preheat your oven to 160C (150 fan). Line a tin of your choice with bakingpaper – I use 23cm by 23cm. This will make 16 medium brownies.

Step 2

I find the best way to do this is to prepare 3 bowls. In a microwaveable bowl, put your butter and chocolate and pop into the microwave for a couple of minutes to melt.

Step 3

Whilst that’s melting, weigh your flour, cocoa and cherries into a smaller bowl and toss around to mix. Set aside, and separately in your largest bowl, whisk together your eggs, yolk and sugar.

Step 4

Once your butter and chocolate are just melted, add them into your egg and sugar mixture. Whisk them together really quickly for about a minute – you don’t want your eggs to scramble with the heat and you want to create a little air within the warm mixture.

Step 5

Once whisked, add your flour, cocoa and cherry mix. Using a large spoon, gently fold this all together until the flour is just incorporated.

Step 6

Transfer to your lined tin and bake for 40 mins to 1 hour, depending on how squidgy or formed you like your brownies.

Enjoy!
