Cherry Clafoutis
Report
Cherry Clafoutis, my take on the classic French dessert. It's an almond custard pie dessert filled with delicious ripe cherries, beautifully baked and so easy to put together. Sprinkle it with powdered sugar, and you have a scrumptious summer dessert for every occasion.

Ingredients
- 100 g plain flour
- 85 g granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon melted butter + 1 teaspoon to brush
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoon ground almonds
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cup pitted cherries (or enough to cover the bottom of the pan)
- powder sugar to sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Brush the bottom of an oven dish with butter, then sprinkle a tablespoon of granulated sugar over.
- In a jug whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and almond extract.
- In a large bowl, sift in the flour, add the sugar and ground almonds and mix well to combine.
- Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and gradually whisk in the liquid until you get a lump-free batter.
- Arrange the cherries on the bottom of the skillet .
- Pour over the batter and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until set and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Serve either warm or cold from the fridge with some powder sugar sprinkled over.

- If you don't happen to have cherries, they can successfully be replaced by other fruit like blueberries, plums, blackberries, cranberries, etc
- When you make the batter, this is pretty runny, unlike most cakes, where the batter is way more consistent. It's even thinner than the crêpes batter, but that's not a problem really, it's meant to be this way.
- Baking time can vary greatly depending on the oven and oven dish used. The cake is ready when the top is golden and the custard at the bottom is set - based on that, you can estimate when it's ready by checking the oven after 30 minutes.
