Recipe Notes

-Just 1 tsp of almond extract provides a TON of amaretto flavor!  Add or subtract to your liking.

-If you will be using actual amaretto liqueur, the substitution ratio is about:

2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur = 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.

-Be sure to mash those blackberries before adding them into the batter.  This will ensure that blackberry flavor and its nutrients is fully incorporated into the batter.   If using frozen blackberries, just place them in a bowl and microwave them for about 30 seconds to defrost for easier mashing.
