    2. Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water).
    3. Destone the cherries and roughly chop them along with the pecans. Stir into the melted chocolate, then take off the heat.
    4. In another bowl, add the sugar, then sift in the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder. Add to the melted chocolate mixture and stir till well combined.
