Instructions
Method:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line the bottom and sides of an 8 inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl, placed over a saucepan of simmering water or in a microwave in 30 second intervals. To the melted chocolate whisk in the cocoa powder and sugar. Next, whisk in the vanilla extract.
Then, whisk in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Finally, stir in the flour, salt and pitted cherries.
Pour into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or offset spatula. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
