- 90 g semi-sweet chocolate chips (½ c.)
- 12 g dutch process cocoa (2 tbsp.)
- 1 egg
- 100 g granulated sugar (½ c.)
- 40 g all purpose flour (⅓ c.)
- ¼ tsp. salt

Instructions
Black Forest Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Butter and line an 8×4" loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Wash, pit, and cut the cherries in half.
- In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, melt together the butter and 90g (½ c.) chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval.
- Once the mixture is melted and smooth, whisk in the cocoa powder.
- Add in the egg and the sugar and whisk vigorously for at least 1 minute.
- Add in the flour and salt. Use a rubber spatula to lightly fold the flour into the ingredients. When there are only a few streaks of flour remaining, add in the remaining 45g (¼ c.) of chocolate chips and the cherries. Fold just until no flour streaks remain.
- Pour the brownie batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the middle only slightly wobbles.
Whipped Cream
- Beat together the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Slice the brownies once they have cooled to room temperature, then top them with whipped cream & more cherries. Serve and enjoy!
