# Ingredients Required:

→ Chocolate Mixture

01 - 170 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
02 - 115 grams unsalted butter

→ Brownie Batter

03 - 200 grams granulated sugar
04 - 110 grams brown sugar
05 - 3 large eggs
06 - 130 grams all-purpose flour
07 - 1.25 milliliters salt
08 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract

→ Fruit

09 - 150 grams fresh cherries, pitted and chopped

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Set oven to 175°C. Grease or line an 20x20 cm baking pan.
02 - Combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl and melt until smooth, stirring frequently.
03 - Whisk in granulated and brown sugars until incorporated, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
04 - Gently fold in the flour, salt, and vanilla extract until just combined.
05 - Carefully fold the chopped cherries into the batter to distribute evenly.
06 - Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the center appears fudgy but set.
07 - Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure cherries are pitted to avoid biting into pits. Cooling completely improves slicing precision and texture.
