  1. Questions:
    Can you use dried cherries?
    When and how do you add the vanilla/almond extracts?
    Also you mention your dairy preference for Buttermilk… what is the reason for that preference, and how does it change the texture ir flavor?
    Looking forward to trying this recipe…. thanks.

    1. Hi Gigi, yes dried cherries would work. If they are especially hard, you may want to rehydrate them in some hot water for a few minutes and pat dry before adding to the dough.
      The extracts are added with the buttermilk.
      I prefer buttermilk both because of the flavor and the more tender flavor, but this recipes also works with whole milk if you prefer.
      Please let me know how the recipe goes once you get a chance to try!

    Super delicious 🙂 I’ve been learning how to make scones after a friend requested them a few days ago, and this is the 3rd recipe I’ve tried. Went with this because my friend loves Black Forest Cake (as do I!), and it absolutely did not disappoint.

    This recipe is the perfect level of sweetness if you want the flavour of the almond extract, cherries, and chocolate to shine rather than just be plain ‘sweet.’ We also ended up using 75% dark chocolate and it’s just perfect. Came out very fluffy, soft, and not too crumbly, just the perfect texture and density.

    Would recommend 1000% over! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
