Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)

Toppings

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan to prevent the brownies from sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with granulated sugar. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating the base for the brownies.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition to achieve a smooth and homogenous batter.
  4. Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the brownies with a sweet aromatic note.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to ensure they are evenly distributed before adding to the wet ingredients.
  6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender brownie texture.
  7. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to add pockets of melted chocolate throughout the brownies.
  8. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking pan and spread it out smoothly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool fully in the pan to set properly before cutting.
  10. Serve: Cut the brownies into squares. Top each piece with a generous spoonful of cherry pie filling and a dollop of whipped cream, serving immediately for a classic Black Forest dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter is not too hot when mixing with sugar to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely.
  • Use a toothpick test to avoid overbaking; brownies should be moist inside.
  • For extra richness, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
  • The cherry pie filling can be substituted with fresh cherries if preferred.
  • Whipped cream can be homemade or store-bought, depending on convenience.
