These Black Forest Brownies are seriously so delicious! They are inspired from classic Black Forest Cake. The original cake uses cherry liqueur but I am substituting almond extract.
Ingredients Needed:
Eggs
Sugar – I use Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Sugar
Brown Sugar – I use Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
Butter – Make sure to melt the butter. You can melt in the microwave or on the stove.
All-Purpose Flour – Make sure to use all-purpose flour.
Cocoa Powder – This gives the chocolate flavor to the brownies.
Almond Extract – Almond Extract adds a nice layer of flavor to the black forest brownies.
Salt – This helps to balance the sweetness.
Cherries – I use cherries from cherry pie filling. Use a fork or slotted spoon to separate the cherries from the cherry pie filling.
Chocolate Chips – I use milk chocolate chips but semi-sweet or even white chocolate chips would also be delicious.
