  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the sour cream and coffee.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Spread the cherry filling evenly over the batter.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the cherry filling.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
