INGREDIENTS
10 tbsp
unsalted butter (1 1/4 sticks), melted
2
large eggs
3/4 cup
granulated sugar
1/4 cup
light brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp
brewed coffee (leftover from the morning brew is fine), optional but recommend to enhance chocolate flavor and does not make brownies taste like coffee
1 tbsp
vanilla extract
3/4 cup
plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process, I used Droste Cocoa)
1
teaspoon instant espresso coffee granules, optional but recommend to enhance chocolate flavor and does not make brownies taste like coffee
1/4 tsp
salt, optional and to taste
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
about 1/2 heaping cup thick cherry jam or preserves, well-stirred in jar
6 oz
dark chocolate, coarsely chopped into chunks (semi-sweet chocolate chips may be substituted but won’t melt as well)
