Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine 150 g maraschino cherries and 60 ml whiskey in a small bowl, cover, and let imbibe for at least 1 hour to absorb flavors.
  2. Step 2: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: Melt 150 g unsalted butter and 150 g dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth, then remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: Whisk 200 g granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture until glossy, then add 3 large eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each.
  5. Step 5: Sift 100 g all-purpose flour, 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp salt into the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined.
  6. Step 6: Fold in the whiskey-soaked cherries with any remaining liquid, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Step 7: Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
  8. Step 8: Cool completely before slicing into squares to serve.
