600 Grams Fresh Pitted Cherries (Stems Removed Too)

3 Large Fresh Eggs

75 Grams All Purpose Flour

125 Grams White Sugar

325 ml of Whole Milk

1 tsp Vanilla

Teeny Splash of Almond Extract

Zest of 1 Orange

Butter for the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 375F. Fully coat the base and sides of a shall baking dish, round casserole or cast iron skillet with softened butter. Set aside.

Place your pitted cherries in the bottom of the dish/pan. Keep some whole and slice others if you like.

In a blender add the eggs, flour, sugar, milk, vanilla, almond and orange zest. Blend until very smooth.

Pour the batter over the cherries. Jiggle the dish/pan to evenly distribute.

Bake in the oven for approximately 40-45 minutes, until the batter is just set - a little wiggle in the centre is okay.

Dust with confectioners sugar and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
