Tips

This recipe uses pitted cherries for convenience. The more traditional version leaves the cherries whole with the pits in, as they’re said to release a subtle almond aroma when baked—if you prefer that more authentic version, just warn whoever’s eating it before they take a bite. Here’s a video to help you make your recipe.

Steps

1. Prepare the cherries and the baking pan10 min
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Thoroughly grease a baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter, including the sides, and arrange the cherries in a single, even layer on the bottom, as shown in the image.
2. Prepare the mixture5 min
In a bowl, add the 3 eggs and, little by little, the half cup of sugar. Beat with a whisk until well combined. Add half a cup of flour in two batches, beating between each addition to prevent lumps. Next, pour in 1 cup of milk while continuing to beat, then add half a cup of whipping cream. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a quarter teaspoon of salt. Beat everything together until the mixture is smooth and light, with no lumps.
3. Pour and bake40 min
Slowly pour the mixture over the cherries and bake uncovered for about 40 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and firm in the center. If, after 30 minutes, the top is already very brown but the center is still runny, lower the temperature and continue baking.
4. Cool and serve10 min
Carefully, using oven mitts, remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving—it’s best enjoyed warm, not hot.
