I have a difficult time baking things without adding chocolate to them, and this one was no exception. In doing so, I confirmed that I don't like the combination of cinnamon and chocolate. So, the second time I made the recipe I made the following changes: 1. Removed all cinnamon 2. Added half cup semi-sweet choc chips 3. Reduced vanilla to half teaspoon 4. Added half teaspoon almond extract I also used frozen cherries instead of fresh (cut them in half and added them frozen to the batter). I think this turned out better than the original recipe (though I imagine fresh cherries would be better). Next time I may try with milk chocolate chips/chunks.
