This is the best recipe I have tried lately. I am a baker and always looking for new recipes. Today my search was for recipes with fresh cherries. I cannot tell you what an EXCELLENT******* recipe this is. I will try with other fruit in the future. If I could give you more than 5 * ,I would. My husband said to make sure I record this one in my book.
I did make a change or two because of what I had one hand. I used heavy cream instead of milk. I also used a sick of butter in the topping because I doubled the recipe. I doubled the recipe because I wanted to use a 13 x 9 pan. I did have to make 3 large muffins because it was a bit too much for the 13 x 9…

Can you replace some of the oil/fat in this recipe with applesauce or banana or something else to cut down on fat? Thank you!

In reply to Natalie. They are a little wetter than blueberries so maybe toss them in a few tablespoons of flour and make sure you bake it long enough if you try it?!

Can I replace the blueberries with raspberries? I have made the recipe with blueberries, and it turned out so good, I want to do it again with a different berry.

I baked this in an 8 x 8 foil pan and the middle was almost raw. I even left it in for extra time. I’m going to try a 13 x 9 next time. Anyone else have that problem? Tasted great!!

The amount of detail in reasoning listed in this recipe is absolutely why my first attempt was so successful. Thank you for doing an awesome job explaining how to make a quality angel food cake! Also, I wish I could post a picture. I ended up using a empty wine bottle when cooling my cake.
