Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons 55 g unsalted butter
- 1 cup 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 cup 140 g all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup 240 ml whole milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 12 ounces 340 g frozen, pitted dark sweet cherries (see note*)
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Butter a 9 inch cast iron skillet or similar size square baking pan
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Combine the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the melted butter, milk, and almond extract. Stir with a wooden spoon just until combined. Some lumps are okay. Gently fold in the frozen cherries.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are just starting to brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes before serving warm with lots of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
High-altitude adjustment: decrease the baking powder to 1 ½ teaspoon.
Variations: Substitute the cherries for an equal amount of any frozen berry. Omit the almond extract and substitute an equal amount of vanilla extract and/or add the zest of a lemon or an orange.
*letting the cherries (or berries, if using) thaw will turn the batter purple, so make sure they’re still frozen when you fold them into the batter.
