- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cherries (fresh or canned, pitted)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan (10×15 inches) with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs and vanilla until frothy. Gently fold the egg mixture into dry ingredients until just combined.
