Ingredients

  • 1 cup (168 g) milk chocolate chips
  • 1 ¼ cups (156 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (59 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (109 g) vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) maraschino cherries, drained, chopped, juice reserved

Cherry Glaze (Optional)

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons cherry juice

Instructions

Cherry Brownie Bread

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • To a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chips are melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the dry ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • To the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the eggs and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  • With the mixer on low, add the melted chocolate, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain.
  • Fold in the chopped cherries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 80-85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before adding the glaze (if using).

Cherry Glaze

  • After the bread has cooled, prepare your glaze. In a small mixing bowl combine confectioners' sugar and cherry juice. Whisk together until combined. Add more cherry juice as needed until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Pour the glaze over the cooled bread and serve.
