  • Line and lightly grease a 20 x 30cm cake tin.

    100 g cherries, 80 g blackberries
  • Melt the chocolate in a microwave or over hot water. Once melted set aside to cool.
    200 g dark chocolate
  • By hand or in a mixer cream together the butter, sugars and vanilla until light and fluffy.
    250 g unsalted butter, 200 g soft brown sugar, 100 g caster sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Add the eggs and the extra yolk (the extra yolk really helps get a crisp top to the brownie). Mix in for a few minutes until fully combined.
    3 medium eggs, 1 egg yolk
  • Add the cooled melted chocolate and mix.
  • Sieve in the flour, a pinch of salt, baking powder and the cocoa powder and mix until combined.

  • Remove from the mixer and add the fruit and gently stir in by hand.
  • Pour the mix into the tin and bake for 40-45 minutes. Add an extra 10 if you want it to have a firm set.
  • Leave the brownie to cool for a while in the cake tin. This will help it set. Or dig into a hot and squishy brownie!
  • Slice it up and serve.

Notes

Enjoy when it's still warm with ice cream or cream.
