Notes
- It helps spraying the pan with a little oil before placing the parchment paper over so it sticks and keeps in place.
- This recipe only needs a bowl and a wooden spoon or a spatula, no mixer needed.
- It helps to dip the back of a dinner spoon in oil and use it to spread the brownies batter.
- It is important to let the brownies cool completely before slicing as it continues to cook as it cools. If you slice it directly after baking the brownies will not have set as well as the cherry, it will look like a lava cake.
