Add the pink salt, baking soda, vanilla, flax eggs and cacao powder to the food processor
Proceed to pulse until a smooth "batter consistency" is achieved. Add the additional tablespoon of water if the mixture isn't soft enough.
Finally add the cherriesand run the food processor for about 10 seconds to allow the extras to fold in rather than grind out.
