Method
 

General Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Prepare a 23x33 cm baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl, about 1-2 minutes. Sift in cocoa powder and stir until smooth.
  3. Incorporate the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture, whisking until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt. Fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips and chopped cherries evenly into the brownie batter.
  6. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. While baking, prepare the ganache by combining chocolate chips and heavy cream in a bowl. Heat in intervals until melted and glossy.
  8. Cool the brownies for 10 minutes in the pan, then drizzle the ganache over the top and allow to set for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
