In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine cherries, brown sugar, and bourbon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until cherries are soft and plump.
Remove from heat, drain the liquid, and set aside the cherries to cool.
Meanwhile, pour the melted butter into a large mixing bowl.
Add the sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, and vinegar to the mixing bowl, and mix until blended.
Add in the eggs, and mix until well-incorporated.
Add in the flour, and mix until just combined.
Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
