Ingredients
- 1 lb cherries (450 g)
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (150 g )
- 3/4 cup potato starch (80 g)
- 3/4 cup sugar (150 g)
- 3 X-large eggs
- 1/3 cup oil (80 ml) sunflower/grape seed/canola
- 2 tsp baking powder(8g)
- Zest of a lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Bottom of springform
- 3 tablespoons butter (40 g)
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar (40 g)
- 9 inch springform pan (23cm)
Instructions
-
Pit the cherries and cut them in half.
-
Place the springform pan on low heat, let the butter melt, and spread on the side. The remaining butter will melt at the bottom. Add the sugar and cook for a few minutes until it bubbles. Careful that the pan is not too hot.
-
Place the cherries cut side down. Start at the perimeter and work your way to the center.
-
Set aside until batter is ready.
-
In a large bowl combine sugar, egg, and vanilla. Use a handheld mixer to whip until you have a smooth batter. Slowly add the oil.
-
Combine flour, potato starch, baking powder, and salt. Sift and add to the egg mixture.
-
Continue mixing until you achieve a thick batter. Fold in the lemon zest. I usually do this manually otherwise the lemon threads get caught in the whisk attachment.
-
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 50 minutes.
