Irresistible Chocolate Cherry Brownies (Fudgy, Rich & Fruity)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and slightly glossy, about 1 minute.
4. Whisk in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

4. Combine & Fold

5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix just until no streaks remain — do not overmix.
6. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped cherries. The batter will be thick and rich.
