First, preheat your oven to 180°C

Next, prepare a large Pyrex dish, grease it with a little butter or oil, line it with parchment paper, and set it to one side.

Now break 300g of dark chocolate into a separate glass Pyrex bowl, and heat over a pan with simmering water; stir until melted. Then set it to one side.

Into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer add the self-raising flour, cocoa powder, caster sugar, and a Pinch of salt.

Then, in a measuring jug add in your milk, vanilla extract, and sunflower oil, and give it a little stir.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Once mixed, pour in your delicious melted chocolate that we set to one side.

Next, add in your cherry halves and mix again. When the mixture is well incorporated, grab your prepped dish, and fill it up with your gorgeous gooey chocolate brownie mixture.

Now, spread out the brownie mixture, so it's all even.

Put it in the oven at 180°C for 35 minutes.

To test if your brownie is cooked properly, using a cocktail stick or skewer, poke it into the center of the brownie and pull it out. If there is no gooey mixture on it, it's done. If there is a little gooey mixture on it, simply pop it back in the oven for a couple more minutes and test again.

Once cooked leave in the dish to cool.

When the brownie has cooled off, remove it from the dish, peel back the parchment paper, and chop it into squares.

That’s it, you’re ready to serve and enjoy.
