Hi Lady Diane, did you look at the photos showing exactly which ingredients and how thick the batter should look? It’s supposed to be very thick as written. It makes for a lovely moist cake filled with cherries, not a fluffy cake mix cake. I wish you’d actually tried baking the cake as written. Were you using a can of cherry pie filling? and 3 eggs? Did you change anything else? You should not have needed to add water or eggs to the batter.

You don’t need to change the sugar amount. You can swap in different berries and it will work nicely. Enjoy!

Yes, it will work nicely

You can use frozen berries to make the pie filling. You don’t need to change anything.

I’m so glad you like the tarts!

This will make about two pints.

I’m so glad that you love them too!

Cornstarch makes them really chewy. I love it.

Sure. I’d melt the chocolate and pour it over the top after baking.

This will make about 2 half pints.
