Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a 3 x 9-inch (33 x 22 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhanging edges (to help you lift the cake straight out of the pan).

  3. Add the flour, milk, oil and baking powder in the egg mixture and mix to combine.
  4. Place a half of the cherries in a separate bowl, dust with 2 tbsp flour, mix and add in the batter. Mix to combine.
  5. Pour the batter in the lined pan, smooth out the surface. Sprinkle the remaining cherries and chocolate chunks on top.
  6. Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for 30 minutes.
  7. Let cool, remove from the pan using the paper overhangs, cut into squares.
