FOR THE CHERRIES:
4 ounces, fluid Espresso
1/4 cups Dried Tart Cherries
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
FOR THE BATTER:
1 stick Butter, Softened
1/2 cups Brown Sugar
3 Tablespoons Sour Cream Or Plain Yogurt
2 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1-1/2 cup Flour
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 cups Chocolate Chips
FOR THE GLAZE:
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
3/4 cups Confectioners Sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 13 x 9 casserole pan with parchment paper and spray the pan walls with non-stick oil.
2
To hydrate the cherries: Pour the espresso into a small saucepan. Add the dried cherries and brown sugar. Put the pan over heat and bring to a gentle boil. Then remove it from heat and set aside to cool.
3
For the batter: Blitz the butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, sour cream (or yogurt), eggs and vanilla in a food processor. Then add flour, baking soda and baking powder. Blitz until just incorporated.
4
Disconnect the bowl from the food processor. Gently, stir the cherries and chocolate chips into the batter by hand. Spoon into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
5
Bake for 30 minutes, until you can smell the cake and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove pan from oven and set it on a rack. Allow the cake to cool thoroughly.
6
For the glaze: Put about a tablespoon of butter in a small pot over medium heat and heat to a bubble. When it changes to a golden brown colour and smells toasty, remove pan from heat. Add maple syrup and confectioner's sugar. Stir until thick and smooth.
7
Drizzle glaze over cooled cake and allow it to set (this will take roughly 5 minutes).
