Kirschmichel – Cherry Casserole

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180u00b0C/375u00b0F.

2. 2

   Mix together the soft butter and the sugar until foamy. Add the vanilla sugar or extract, the lemon zest, eggs and semolina and stir again to incorporate everything.

3. 3

   Mix the flour and the baking powder together and sieve them over the rest of the ingredients. Incorporate carefully using a spatula and add the milk little by little, stirring carefully. Stop adding the milk when the mixture is totally smooth and runny. I had about 30 ml milk left in my cup. Add the pitted cherries to the mixture.

4. 4

   Butter a medium casserole dish and pour everything inside. Sprinkle with some butter flakes and bake for about 40-45 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean but still a little bit wet.

5. 5

   Dust with some icing sugar if desired and serve hot, warm or cold with either vanilla ice cream or vanilla sauce.
