Ingredients

Butter1/2 cup, softened
Heavy Cream1/4 cup
Salta pinch
Eggs3
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Dark Chocolate2 cups, chopped
Cherries1 cup, pitted
Instant Coffee2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F, grease the tin and dust it so nothing sticks later.
2
Whisk the heavy cream, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.
3
Fold the flour and cherries through in two additions; overmixing makes a dense crumb.
4
Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.
5
Once cool, slice and serve, or ice it generously and let the frosting set.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
