Baking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch baking dish by greasing it.
Wash and pit fresh cherries, then spread them in the bottom of the baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together sugar, milk, crème fraîche, and eggs until smooth. Add salt, almond extract, vanilla extract, and flour, then mix until lump-free.
Pour the batter over the cherries in the dish, ensuring all cherries are submerged.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until puffed and golden brown, with a slight wobble in the center.
Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 30 minutes before baking for a creamier texture. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
