How to Make Irresistible Black Forest Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press half of the dough into the prepared pan.
- Spread 1 cup of your favorite sour cherry jam (like Swiss Hero!) evenly over the dough.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the jam.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
