If a brownie and a Black Forest cake had a baby...
Black Forest brownies are the ultimate indulgence, combining the fudgy richness of a dark chocolate brownie with the tartness of cherries and a hint of cream. It’s essentially the classic German cake reimagined as a handheld treat.
Here is a foolproof recipe for decadent, fudgy Black Forest brownies.
Instructions
1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan (or line with parchment paper).
2. Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla (and Kirsch, if using) and whisk until smooth.
3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Fold gently until just combined—do not overmix, or you'll lose that fudgy texture! Stir in chocolate chips if you're using them.
4. The Swirl: Pour the batter into the pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cherry filling over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the cherries into the batter.
5. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still be slightly soft (it will firm up as it cools).
6. Cool: Let them cool completely in the pan before slicing. This is the hardest part, but it ensures clean cuts!
Pro-Tips for Success
• The "Paper" Trick: Leave an overhang of parchment paper on two sides of the pan. Once the brownies are cool, you can lift the entire block out for easy slicing.
• Serving: These are incredible served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream to lean into that "Black Forest Cake" vibe.
• Cherry Choice: If using frozen cherries, make sure to pat them dry first so the extra moisture doesn't make the brownies soggy.
