Ingredients

  • 215g dark chocolate, broken into small, even pieces

  • 190g golden caster sugar 

  • 165g butter, softened

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten 

  • 2 tsp vanilla 

  • ½ tsp fine sea salt 

  • 95g plain flour 

  • 30g cocoa powder 

  • 80g sour cherries

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line an 8-inch square tin with parchment.

  2. Set aside 100g of the chocolate chips. Melt the other 115g over a pot of boiling water and set aside.

  3. Mix the sugar and butter until completely combined, slowly add in the eggs, vanilla and salt. Add in the flour and cocoa until they too are combined then stir in the melted chocolate.

  4. Stir the remaining chocolate pieces and the sour cherries into the mixture, set aside some cherries for sprinkling.

  5. Scoop the mixture into the prepared tin and sprinkle the remaining cherries on top and bake for about 35 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin and cut into as many squares as you would like. They are rich so a small one may do.
