Ingredients

• 300 grams cherries, pitted
• 100 grams dark chocolate, chopped
• 60 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams granulated sugar

• 240 milliliters milk
• 60 milliliters heavy cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch round or oval baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Spread the pitted cherries evenly across the bottom of the greased dish and sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate on top.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then incorporate the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly over the cherries and chocolate in the baking dish.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the clafouti is set and slightly puffed with a golden edge.

Step 9

Remove the clafouti from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 10-15 minutes.

Step 10

Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
