Hi
I noticed that in the ingredients you listed greek yogurt or sour cream but in the instructions you didn’t say where in the process you add that ingredient. I realized after mixing everything except that one ingredient that it was missed. So I just added it and hope that it turns out okay.
Just wanted you to know so you can edit it and put that back in 🙂 Sounds amazing! Hope mine turns out.
Megan
Yum – thank you. I love cherry!
Thanks for recipe!
I will try next weekend.
looks nice!!!!!!
Thanks Megan! I let Lauren know and she edited it last night! 🙂
Oh I wish I would have seen this comment . I printed the recipe and totally missed adding that ingredient before baking it. 🙁
Hi! I was wondering where\ when to add the baking powder. I didn’t see it in the instructions. Do I add it with the baking soda and flour and salt? Thanks!:) hoping to make this tonight!
Cherries are my favorite fruit! This looks so yummy. Thanks!
Vanilla in the frosting but not in the recipe. Wished I had more key limes. After adding the vanilla it looked dirty.
