- ⅓ cup (39 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks / 170 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla

Brownies
In a large bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until incorporated. Set aside.
In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer on medium-high speed, beat the eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
With the mixer off, add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Turn the mixer on low and mix until the ingredients are combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish.
Cherry Topping
Drain cherries, reserving the juice.
Slice maraschino cherries in half; set aside.
In a small bowl, add about ⅔ of the reserved cherry juice and sweetened condensed milk. Mix well and set aside.
Top the brownie batter evenly with the cherries, chocolate chips, almonds, and sweetened condensed milk mixture. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and brown.
Allow the brownies to cool completely and set before cutting and serving.
