Sour Cherry Pudding

Sour Cherry Pudding

Sour cherry pudding, crunchy around the edges and creamy in the middle. It has a cake-like texture but is best eaten with a spoon. So simple to make and I love it served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side.

    INGREDIENTS

    For this recipe all you need are these ingredients:

    • Sour cherries
    • Brown or demerara sugar
    • Butter 
    • Cream or milk
    • Plain flour
    • Baking powder
    • Ground cinnamon

    TIP:

    I highly recommend adding a good pinch of salt to your desserts. Salt helps balance out the sweetness and richness. It also elevates the other ingredients, bring out the best characteristics of any recipe. In a seemingly absurd or contradictory way, salt intensifies the mouths ability to taste sweetness. It is the sodium that sends signals to move glucose into the sweet taste receptor cells in our tongue. The result is that salt not only alerts our ‘salt sensitivity’, but also our ‘sweet sensitive’ taste buds. I recommend Maldon Sea salt flakes or Cornish sea salt.


    WHAT VARIATIONS CAN I MAKE?

    • Fruit: Try other fruits like raspberries, strawberries, peaches or apricots.

    EQUIPMENT SUGGESTIONS

    I like the sturdiness of this bowl and its 4 litre capacity means I can use it for mixing just about everything in the kitchen. It is also microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.

    These different size mixing bowls are really useful depending on the amount of food you are preparing. They also have airtight lids that fit snugly to seal and keep food fresh, so this set can be used as dry storage bowls with lids on. The plastic lid of the largest bowl has a removable centre. Where one of 3 graters can be used.

    I do own a plastic mixing bowl but I am personally not a big fan of them. These 3 bowls are on the smaller size but good for the odd cake making.

    I like this model of electric hand mixer because it comes with a large stand, meaning you don’t have to always hold it.

    Great for serving from oven to table.

    TIP: I highly recommend using metric measurements and a digital kitchen scale, rather than cup measurements. If you have ever ended up with dry, dense or crumbly baked goods, it might be because of inaccurate volume measurements, not all measuring cups are made equally. All my recipes on this blog are carefully developed so that you can easily recreate them in your own kitchen with success, using metric measurements. It is also a lot easier, less messy and you will get far better, consistent results. 🙂
