Cherry Clafoutis
Cherry Clafoutis – a delicious and elegant cake, perfect for bringing a touch of summer to your plate. This simple and quick recipe is ideal for cooking enthusiasts who want to combine the flavor of seasonal fruits with a fluffy and soft texture. Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 35-40 minutes Total: 55-60 minutes Servings: 6-8 Ingredients: - 500 g of cherries (fresh or frozen) - 4 large eggs - 100 g of sugar (preferably brown sugar for a caramelized taste) - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - A pinch of salt - 120 g of flour - 300 ml of milk - 30 g of butter (for greasing the pan) - Powdered sugar for decoration (optional) Step-by-step preparation: 1. Preparing the cherries: If using fresh cherries, wash them well, remove the stems and pits. If opting for frozen cherries, thaw them and let them drain excess water. This step is essential to prevent a soggy cake. 2. Preparing the batter: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, continuing to mix. 3. Incorporating the dry ingredients: Sift the flour over the egg mixture and gently mix, preferably with a spatula or whisk, to avoid lumps. Then, gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to obtain a smooth batter. 4. Preparing the pan: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking pan (preferably round) with melted butter, ensuring it is evenly distributed. This will help the cake not to stick and achieve a golden crust. 5. Adding the cherries: Evenly distribute the cherries on the bottom of the pan. This step is important to ensure that each serving will be filled with delicious fruits. 6. Pouring the batter: Carefully pour the batter over the cherries, making sure to cover them evenly. The batter will envelop the cherries during baking, creating a spectacular effect. 7. Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden on top and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. 8. Cooling and serving: After removing the clafoutis from the oven, let it cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant touch. Serving suggestions: Cherry clafoutis is served warm or at room temperature, alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a caramel sauce for added flavor. Possible variations: Feel free to experiment with other seasonal fruits, such as sour cherries, strawberries, or peaches. You can also add a bit of cinnamon for a more aromatic taste or even some chopped nuts for a crunchy texture. This cherry clafoutis is not only a quick cake but also a perfect choice for a refined dessert at a dinner with friends or a summer party. Dream of a moment of indulgence and enjoy every bite!
