Line a 24cm square baking tin with greaseproof paper. Snap the chocolate into a large bowl, add the butter and place over a pan of brownies water, until melted, stirring regularly. Sift the cocoa powder and flour into a separate bowl, add the baking powder and sugar, then mix together.

Add the dry ingredients to the chocolate, cherry and nut mixture and stir together well. Beat the eggs, then mix in until you have a silky consistency. Pour the brownie mix into the baking tin, and place in the oven for around 25 minutes. Allow to cool in the tray, then carefully transfer to a large chopping board and cut into chunky squares. Delicious served with a dollop of crème fraîche or yoghurt mixed with some orange zest. A foolproof brownie recipe for a squidgy chocolate bake.

Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl. Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them. Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High.

Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature. Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps.
