Total preparation time: 1 hour Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes Number of servings: 12 Ingredients For the batter: - 2 large eggs - 400 g of flour - 200 g of sugar - 200 ml of milk - 150 ml of oil (preferably sunflower or canola oil) - 1 packet of baking powder - 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder - 300 g of cherries (fresh or frozen, well drained) - 100 g of chocolate (dark or milk, depending on preference) For the vanilla cream: - 1 packet of vanilla-flavored Creme Ole (or another instant vanilla cream) - 400 ml of cold milk A bit of history Brownies have won the hearts of many due to their moist and rich texture, and the versatility of ingredients. Adding cherries not only gives it an attractive appearance but also a tart note that contrasts perfectly with the sweetness of the chocolate. The vanilla cream adds a touch of refinement, transforming the dessert into a true masterpiece. Preparation Step 1: Preparing the vanilla cream Start by preparing the vanilla cream so that it has time to cool. In a bowl, add the contents of the Creme Ole packet and 400 ml of cold milk. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients until you achieve a thick consistency. Place the cream in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Step 2: Preparing the batter 1. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. 2. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until the egg whites become shiny and firm. 3. Add the yolks, oil, and milk, gently mixing with a spatula. 4. In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix well, then add this mixture to the wet ingredients. Use the spatula to carefully incorporate the dry ingredients until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. Step 3: Incorporating the cherries and chocolate 1. If using fresh cherries, make sure to drain them well. If they are frozen, let them thaw completely and drain excess liquid. Mix the cherries with a teaspoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake. 2. Add the cherries to the brownie mixture and gently mix with the spatula. Sprinkle chocolate pieces here and there for an extra flavor boost. Step 4: Baking 1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Prepare a 25x35 cm baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. 2. Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing it out with the spatula. 3. Bake the cake for 30 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test (inserted in the middle, it should come out clean). Step 5: Assembling Once the cake is baked, let it cool slightly in the pan, then transfer it to a cooling rack. After it has completely cooled, spread the vanilla cream evenly on top. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set the cream. Serving and suggestions Once the cake is well chilled and the cream has set, it is ready to serve! You can cut the brownie into squares and decorate it with a few fresh cherries or chocolate shavings for a more attractive appearance. This brownie is perfect to be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or, for an even more appreciated contrast, with a dollop of whipped cream. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use other fruits instead of cherries? Of course! You can replace the cherries with cherries, raspberries, or even pieces of peaches. Make sure the fruits are well drained to avoid a too wet batter. 2. How can I make the cake less sweet? If you prefer a less sweet taste, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe by about 50 g, without affecting the texture of the cake. 3. On what other occasions can I serve this brownie? The cherry brownie with vanilla cream is ideal for parties, birthdays, or simply as a weekend dessert. It can also be served at festive meals, bringing a touch of elegance and flavor. Nutritional benefits This cake offers a good combination of carbohydrates and proteins from the eggs, while the cherries provide vitamins and antioxidants. However, it is important to consume it in moderation, considering the sugar and calorie content. Estimated calories per serving: 180-220 calories (depending on the type of chocolate and the amount of sugar used) Customized option If you want to add a touch of flavor, you can incorporate 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla extract into the brownie mixture or add some chopped nuts for a crunchy texture. This cherry brownie with chocolate and vanilla cream is more than just a simple dessert – it is a true culinary experience that will delight your senses. So, don’t hesitate to try it and enjoy every bite! Enjoy your meal!
