Ingredients
170g unsalted butter
170g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
150g granulated sugar
100g brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
90g all-purpose flour
30g unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
180g cherries (soaked in kirsch or cherry liqueur)
2 tbsp kirsch or cherry liqueur
100g chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
1. Soak the cherries in kirsch or cherry liqueur for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
3. Melt butter and dark chocolate together until smooth. Let cool slightly.
4. In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until pale and thick.
5. Stir in melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract.
6. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined.
7. Fold in drained cherries and chocolate chunks.
8. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
9. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
10. Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For stronger cherry flavor, soak cherries overnight.
Don’t overbake—the center should still be fudgy when tested.
Slice with a hot knife for clean, bakery-style edges.
