In a small bowl, pour water over cherries; let stand for 15 minutes. 
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, 
about 2 minutes. Beat in egg whites and egg until smooth.

In a small bowl, combine the banana, sour cream and vanilla. Combine 
the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; add 
to butter mixture alternately with banana mixture. Drain cherries and 
coarsely chop; fold into batter with pecans.

Pour into a 9" x 5" loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350F 
for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes 
out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire 
rack to cool completely.

Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
