Kirschmichel - Cherry Casserole

Ingredients

60 g/ 2.1 oz butter, room temperature + some butter flakes
125 g/ ½ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
zest of ½ organic lemon
3 large eggs
125 g/ ¾ cups semolina
150 g/ 1cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 level teaspoons baking powder
about 250 ml/1 cup milk
500 g/ 17.6 oz cherries, pitted

Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
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
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
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
Dust with some icing sugar if desired and serve hot, warm or cold with either vanilla ice cream or vanilla sauce.
