Ingredients:

For the chocolate cherry brownies:

100g/3½oz canned cherries, stones removed, drained

110g castor sugar

1 tbsp milk

110g unsalted butter

110g maida (flour) sifted

45g/1¾oz cocoa powder

2 Eggs

For the cherry chocolate sauce:

150ml/¼ pint double cream

1 tbsp caster sugar

50ml/2fl oz cherry juice (from can of cherries)

2 tbsp cocoa powder

Icing sugar, to dust

Instructions

· To make the brownies, take the butter and sugar and mix them together till they are light and fluffy.

· Whisk the eggs until thick and then gradually fold in the flour, cocoa powder and milk.

· Stir in the cherries.

· Take a greased square cake baking tin of 23cm/9in and pour half of the mixture into it.

· Preheat oven to 180 degree and bake the tin for 10-12 minutes until the top is set.

· Test the cake by inserting a fork in the center. The fork should come out sticky but if the brownie is not ready then raw mixture would be sticking to it.

· If the raw mixture sticks to the fork then put the brownie in the oven for 3 more minutes. If the brownie appears a little wet, it would solidify a little on cooling, so if it appears a little wet, it is ok.

· Leave the brownies to cool and then cut them into squares.

· For the cherry chocolate sauce, place all the ingredients except icing sugar into a small pan and heat gently, stirring frequently until a smooth sauce is done.

Pour the cheery chocolate sauce over the brownie and dust it with icing sugar and it is ready to serve.
