Chocolate Sour Cherry Clafoutis – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Chocolate Sour Cherry Clafoutis?

STEP 1

To begin, preheat the oven to 180°C (350⁰F). In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt, giving it a good stir.

STEP 2

Next, take a large bowl and crack the eggs into it. Add 1/3 cup (65 g) of sugar and vanilla sugar. Use a mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes a fluffy, pale mass.

STEP 3

Now, slowly add the flour mixture into the egg-sugar mixture. Gradually add the milk, pouring it in a slow stream. Finally, pour the melted butter into the mixture. Use the mixer at a low speed to blend everything together until you achieve a smooth consistency.

TIPS: Melt your butter either on the stove or in the microwave – whichever is more convenient for you.

STEP 4

Take a 22cm round ceramic baking dish and grease it with butter. Pour the dough into the prepared dish.

TIPS: For baking clafoutis, use a low baking dish. If you’re using a taller baking dish, you’ll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

TIPS: When making clafoutis, look for a glass or ceramic baking dish. Metal baking tin can cause the berries in the cake to oxidize.

STEP 5

For an extra touch of deliciousness, place slightly thawed cherries and coarsely chopped chocolate on top of the dough. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the cherries and chocolate.

TIPS: Instead of using frozen cherries, opt for fresh ones. However, make sure to wash and pit the cherries beforehand.

STEP 6

Now, place the dish with the dough into the preheated oven at 180°C (350⁰F) and let it bake for about 40 minutes.
