Ingredients
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp espresso powder
  • 2 tablespoons plus ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup pitted chopped cherries, more if you prefer. You can use canned too if you can't find fresh
  • 3 tbsp chocolate cherry liqueur or kirsch
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1¼ cups hot water
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour, espresso powder, salt, baking powder sugar, butter and 2 tablespoons cocoa. Stir in the milk.
  3. Take a 9 inch pie dish, a cast iron or mini dishes. Put the pitted cherries in the bottom of the dish in one layer. Then spoon the thick mixture over the cherries. Make it even as possible. Pour the liqueur over it evenly.
  4. Combine the brown sugar and remaining cocoa and sprinkle over batter. Pour hot water over top (do not stir). Bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
  5. Let sit for about 20 minutes so it can set.
Serve it with some good old classic vanilla ice cream
