Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups butter, melted
- 5 eggs at room temperature
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 to 1 ½ cups Toschi Amarena cherries, drained
Method of Preparation
- Preheat oven to 290°F. Beat together eggs, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Slowly add the melted butter.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder, mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the egg and sugar mixture and mix just until combined (do not overmix!). Stir in the chocolate chunks and cherries.
- Pour into a greased (or parchment-lined) 9x13 pan and bake for 50-60 minutes.
- Test for doneness with a toothpick—there should still be moist crumbs on it. It is important not to overbake the brownies.
