Ingredients

  • 16 oz frozen cherries 1 x 16 oz bag
For the cake
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter ( or coconut oil if Vegan)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk ( Can use Soy or Almond Milk if Vegan)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
For the topping
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup boiled hot water

Notes

  • The beauty of this cherry buckle is you can make it with any juicy fruit—any. Think a type of berry or a combo, peaches, mango, apricots and probably pears.
  • The most important thing is to make sure the fruit is cut up into dice size pieces and the fruit has to be FROZEN.
  • I like using individual ramekins but you can always make the buckle into a large baking dish and cut it up during serving.
