Ingredients
BROWNIES
- 1 ½ cups (186 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (42 g) dark cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks / 170 g) butter, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
TOPPING
- ½ cup seedless cherry preserves
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
BROWNIES
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13-inch 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.
TOPPING
- When brownies are slightly cooled (but still warm), spread the cherry preserves over the top using an offset 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.
