Servings: 9 Slices
Calories: 359kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter Unsalted, Melted
- ½ cup Cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs Large
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ½ cup All-purpose flour Sifted
- 1-2 cups Chocolate ganache frosting
- 1-2 cups Cherry pie filling Optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add butter, cocoa powder, sugar and mix until fully dissolved.
- Add eggs, vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Add flour and mix until just combined. Don't over-mix!
- Pour batter in an 8 inch square pan, that's been lined with foil and sprayed with oil.
- Spread batter evenly with a spatula.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minuted or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out with a few sticky crumbs. If it comes out clean, it's over-baked and the texture would not be as ooey goey.
- Remove from oven and let the brownies cool to room temperature.
- While the brownies are cooling, prepare frosting.
- Once brownies are completely cool, spread frosting on top.
- Optional but recommended: Cover and chill in fridge for a few hours, which makes it slightly firm and allows you to cut sharp clean slices.
- Cut slices with a sharp knife. Be sure to wipe knife clean with a damp paper towel after each cut. Cut 9 large slices or 16 smaller slices.
- Prior to serving, top off each slice with cherry pie filling, if you like. Enjoy!
