Ingredients
130g butter
150g dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
55g cherries
55g roasted pecans
225g caster sugar
55g cocoa powder
75g plain flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
3 large free-range eggs
optional: 50g milk or dark chocolate
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/gas 4. Line a 20cm square baking tin (or the equivalent) with greaseproof paper.
- Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water).
- Destone the cherries and roughly chop them along with the pecans. Stir into the melted chocolate, then take off the heat.
- In another bowl, add the sugar, then sift in the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder. Add to the melted chocolate mixture and stir till well combined.
- Beat the eggs and mix in. Roughly chop and stir through the milk or dark chocolate (if using).
- Transfer the mixture to the tin, then bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. You want them a little gooey in the middle.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the tray, before cutting into squares.
