Portions
6 portions

Requirements

  • 150g of dark chocolate broken into small pieces
  • 125ml sunflower oil
  • 200g of light brown soft sugar
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 100g self-raising flour
  • Half a tsp of baking powder
  • 1 jar of black cherries in kirsch (approx. 230g)
  • 200g of clotted cream

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 160ºC/180ºC fan.
2. Fill a saucepan with hot water and place on low-medium heat. Place the dark chocolate in a small bowl and balance it on the top of the saucepan. Allow the chocolate to melt, stirring continuously to prevent it from burning.
3. Once melted, allow the chocolate to cool for a few minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, use a mixer with flat beater attachments to whisk the eggs, sugar and oil until combined.
5. Once well combined, use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the flour and baking powder into the mixture.
6. Whisk in the melted dark chocolate with the mixer before stirring in the white chocolate pieces.
7. Pour the batter into a parchment-lined, square 8' baking tin pushing up to the sides evenly.
8. Spoon 10-15 cherries without the juice onto the brownie mix, lightly squash, and swirl in evenly, distributing the cherries around the pan.
9. Place in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. To see if your brownies have finished baking, test them with a skewer after 15 minutes. The skewer should come out sticky.
10. Once removed from the oven, use the skewer to make a few holes, then take a few spoons of the cherry juice and pour it over the top to soak through.
11. Allow time to cool down. Then serve with a dollop of clotted cream and an extra cherry on top of each serving.
