    Directions

    1. . Generously butter a shallow, 10 inch (26cm) ovenproof dish or six shallow ramekins. Place onto a baking pan.
    2. . > BASE: In a medium bowl, pour the liquor over the cherries. Sprinkle the confectioners' sugar and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and let it macerate for 1 hour or more.
    3. . Later, strain the cherries and keep the remaining cherry syrup-like liquid for other uses such as a base for beverages.
    4. . Sprinkle the sugar evenly throughout to base of the baking dish or ramekins. Add in the cherries and sprinkle in the chocolate. Set aside.
    5. . Pre-heat the oven to 375F/190C/Gas5. Position the oven rack in the center of the oven.
    6. . > BATTER: Place all the remaining batter ingredients into a blender. Pulse a few times and continue with a blitz of a few seconds. Pour the batter over the prepared fruit filled oven-proof dish.
    7. . BAKE for 50 minutes or until puffy and lightly browned. Shallow ramekins need only 20 minutes. Remove the dish(s) from the oven and let rest about 1 hour before serving it warm.
    8. . Optional: Dust with confectioners' sugar, cut into wedges and serve. >> Note: Although this dessert is best eaten warm it can also be enjoyed at room temperature as well as cold.
    9. . VARIATION: This fruit flan tart can be made with apricot, any berry and peach.
    10. . Happy baking from Claudia's kitchen...FOODESSA.com
