- all-purpose flour
- unsweetened cocoa powder

- chocolate cherry jam
- fresh cherries

Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined, about 1 minute.
- Add 4 room temperature eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until combined. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined and no flour streaks remain.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared tart pan and spread it evenly. Spoon 1/2 cup of chocolate cherry jam over the brownie layer, spreading it gently to cover. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the jam, smoothing it to cover completely.
- Gently place the pitted and halved fresh cherries on top of the batter, pressing them in slightly to ensure they bake into the tart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The center should be slightly gooey but not liquid.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the tart from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, dust the top with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar for a beautiful finish. Slice and serve, enjoying the rich chocolate and tart cherry flavors.
