Instructions
Cherry Brownie Bread
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- To a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chips are melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the dry ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the eggs and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- With the mixer on low, add the melted chocolate, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until no lumps remain.
- Fold in the chopped cherries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 80-85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before adding the glaze (if using).
Cherry Glaze
- After the bread has cooled, prepare your glaze. In a small mixing bowl combine confectioners' sugar and cherry juice. Whisk together until combined. Add more cherry juice as needed until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled bread and serve.
