Cherry and Chocolate Brownies

• 200 g dark cooking chocolate
• 150 g butter, chopped
• 1 cup brown sugar (200g)
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup plain flour (150g)
• 1 cup desiccated coconut (85g, see suggested variation above)
• 425 g black cherries, pitted, drained

1. Preheat oven to 180C; lightly grease a 16cm x 26cm pan and line it with non-stick baking paper.
2. Place the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe dish (a microwave Tupperware jug is ideal for this purpose); microwave on medium/50% power, stirring once, for 2 minutes or until the chocolate and butter have melted.
3. Stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture, stirring well to thoroughly dissolve any lumps; stir in the eggs, flour and coconut; once these ingredients are well combined, add the cherries.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes; leave in the pan to cool; then cut into squares to serve.
