Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams cherries, pitted
- 100 grams dark chocolate, chopped
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a 9-inch round or oval baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
Spread the pitted cherries evenly across the bottom of the greased dish and sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate on top.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then incorporate the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the cherries and chocolate in the baking dish.
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.
Remove the clafouti from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 10-15 minutes.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
