I grew up in a world without brownies (we just did not have them in the Czech republic). Can you imagine? I still feel cheated of one of the best sweet treats a child can enjoy. I am making up  for it now!

• 300g chocolate
• 300g butter
• 400g sugar
• 150g gluten free plain flour
• 7 eggs
• 4 tbl cherry syrup (or kirsch if you are baking for adults)
• 100g frozen cherries

1. Preheat the oven to 180 C
2. Melt the chocolate and the butter together in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, leave to cool for a couple of minutes
3. Mix the cherry syrup and eggs and beat until completely combined
4. Pour the chocolate mix into the eggs and fold in flour throw in the cherries
5. Pour into a deep tray lined with a baking parchment and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until set
