Notes

Feel free to use any type of fruit instead of cherries, such as peaches, plums, or berries.
For a boozy twist, try adding a splash of kirsch or cherry liqueur to the batter.
You can also add some almond extract to enhance the flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
