快速提问：烘焙蓝莓蛋糕时，您建议使用新鲜蓝莓还是冷冻蓝莓？ 口感或味道有区别吗？分享您的偏好以及使用任一选项获得最佳效果的任何技巧。感谢您的见解！

最初的食谱用的是新鲜蓝莓，但我之前做的时候
我已改用冷冻蓝莓，这样可以使蓝莓的中间有爆裂声，我更喜欢这种口感。

Frozen blueberries are a convenient option and often more affordable. They can release a bit more moisture during baking, so you might need to adjust the recipe slightly. But the taste is still pretty good, and they're perfect for those spontaneous baking cravings!

Fresh blueberries are ideal for cakes as they tend to hold their shape better and have a brighter flavor, but frozen blueberries can work well too if you coat them in flour to prevent bleeding into the batter .

Both have their perks! Fresh blueberries are awesome for flavor and texture, but frozen blueberries are super convenient and often more affordable. They’re also great for baking since they won’t burst as much. Just make sure to thaw and drain them if they’re frozen!
