Chocolate Cherry Brownie Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHERRY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray or GOOP.
• In a large bowl add flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt. Whisk together ingredients until they are fully incorporated.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using a hand-held mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
• With the mixer off, add in the flour mixture. Turn mixer on low and mix until ingredients are well combined.
• Pour brownies into a prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes at 350°F. Brownies are done when an inserted toothpick is removed with crumbs but not wet batter.
• When brownies are slightly cooled (but still warm!), spread the cherry preserves over the top using an off-set spatula.
• To make the chocolate ganache, bring the whipping cream to a boil and remove from heat.
• With chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl, pour cream over chips and slowly stir until all chips are melted.
• Pour the chocolate ganache over the cherry preserves layer, covering as much of the preserves as possible.
• Refrigerate for about an hour or until the chocolate is set.

CHERRY BROWNIE BABYCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter 12 holes of a deep muffin tray and line each hole with a strip of baking parchment - this will help you lift out the brownies later (or line 16 holes of 2 trays with muffin cases). Put the butter, 150g of the chocolate, sugar and vanilla in a heatproof bowl, suspended over a pan of barely simmering water. Heat gently, stirring now and again until melted, then remove from the heat and leave to cool for a few mins. Meanwhile, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and a good pinch of salt together in a large bowl.
• Add the warm, melted chocolate mixture, the eggs, cherries and the remaining 50g chocolate to the dry ingredients, then mix until just combined. Divide the mixture between the holes of the muffin tray/cases, making sure each one gets a few pieces of cherry. Bake for 18 mins until cooked but still gooey in the centre - they will continue cooking a little as they cool down. Leave to cool for 30 mins in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, or eating warm with a dollop of cream, a dusting of cocoa and extra cherries on top, if you like.
