Notes

For optimal results, ensure the sweet potatoes are well mashed and free of lumps before adding to the batter. Using fresh cherries can enhance the flavor, but if they are unavailable, dried cherries can be used as a substitute. Be careful not to overbake the brownies to maintain their fudgy texture.
