CHERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a blender, combine eggs, sugar, salt, milk, and both extracts. Blend until combined. Add in the flour and blend again for about 30 seconds until combined. Add in the melted butter and pulse the blender a couple times to mix it in.
• Pour the batter into the prepared 10x6 oval dish, but it can also be done in a 9 inch round dish. Place the cherries on top of the batter. You can arrange them however you prefer.
• Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until fully set and a knife comes out mostly clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at least 15 minutes.
• You may serve this warm or cold. Dust with powdered sugar and, if desired, serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

CHERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Make the batter: Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined. Whisk in the salt and flour until smooth. Then whisk in the milk, almond extract, and vanilla extract
• Bake: Bake at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Check about halfway through the baking, and if the top is getting well browned, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
• Remove from the oven to cool: When you pull it out of the oven, it will wiggle a bit, which is normal. Place on a wire rack to cool. The clafoutis will have puffed up quite a bit and will deflate while cooling.
• Dust with powdered sugar: When cool, dust the clafoutis with powdered sugar. Serve.

CHERRY, CUSTARD & ALMOND SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Butter two 20cm loose-bottomed round sandwich tins and line with baking parchment. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 4. Tip the butter and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat for 10 mins, or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt and the milk. Spoon the batter into the prepared tins and bake in the centre of the oven for 22-25 mins, or until risen and firm to the touch. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Put the cherries, vanilla, sugar, lemon juice and kirsch or liqueur (if using) in a pan and bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 mins, turn up the heat to medium and cook for 5-7 mins more until the liquid becomes syrupy. If the cherries are softened but the liquid isn't yet syrupy, strain the liquid into a separate pan and simmer until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
• Beat the cream and icing sugar together using an electric whisk until the cream has thickened, then fold in the custard and chill for 1 hr.
• Put one of the sponges on a cake plate or stand and spread over the custard cream. Spoon over the cherries, then top with the second sponge. Dust with more icing sugar and serve immediately. Leftovers will keep chilled for two days and are best served at room temperature.
