The ingredients for Clafouti aux Cheres (cherry custard cake) are:

1.5 (1 1/2) teaspoons of unsalted butter (for pan greasing)

1 cup of milk (I use 1%)

0.25 (1/4) cup heavy cream

0.66 (2/3) cup plain (all-purpose) flour, sifted

3 eggs

0.25 (1/4) cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract (more if desired)

0.25 (1/4) teaspoon salt (just a pinch!)

4 cups sweet or tart cherries or other desired fruit

1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar (for garnish if desired, but I leave this out)

Here is how you make Clafouti aux Cheres (cherry custard cake):

Preheat oven to 350 FGrease 9- to 10-inch round baking dish (I use a glass pie plate)Combine milk, cream, flour, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt in a mixing bowl.Beat with electic beater on medium setting for 5 minutes or until frothy.Pour enough of the batter into the baking dish to cover the bottom about 0.25 inch with batter.Bake for about 2 minutes or until firm (do not cook this part too much or it will burn; just enough so it doesn't slosh around and it may take up to 5 minutes).Cover the precooked batter with a single layer of fruit and pour in the remaining batter.Cook for an additional 30-35 minutes (as much as upto 45 minutes) or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.NB: The clafouti may pop out of the dish a bit, but it will settle back as it cools. After the clafouti cools, use the confectioners' suger as a garnish. This is a recipe made for experimentation with different fruits and can be served with a nice wine or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you use a tart or bitter fruit, as this dessert is not very sweet. You may want to reduce the amount of fruit by half, since I usually end up making two, very fruit-filled clafoutis with the four cups.Serve warm; serves 6-8I've found that it can be pretty good cold in small doses.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user PISEAGAN.
