Cocoa powder is a suitable and friendly ingredient for making pastries, cakes, biscuits, icing, cookies and many more chocolate flavor platable product can be made. Cocoa powder granule adds quick essence to the product and easily blends with other ingredients and reduces the acidic influence also. Preparation: Soak the cherries: In a small saucepan, bring the cherries and port to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and coook for 2 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and let cool to rooom temperature. How to make the brownies: Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350 digree F. Butter and flour a 9-inch square metal baking pan, tapping out the excess flour. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat. Whisk or stir in the sugar, follwoed by the vanilla. Stil in the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt, starting slowly to keep the ingredients from flying gout of the pan and stirring more vigorously as you go. Stir until the batter is smooth and uniform, about 1 minute. If you're using the port-soaked cherries, stir them in at this time, along with any remaining liquid from the saucepan. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan, smooothing it so it fills the pan evenly. Bake until a toothpick or a skewer inserted 3/4 inch into the center of the brownies comes out with just a few moist clumps clinging to it, about 40 minutes. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a rack.
