Preheat oven to 180°C.

Grease a baking dish with butter and coat evenly with sugar.

Heat butter in a small pan until it turns a pale hazelnut colour.

Whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy.

Whisk in flour until smooth, then incorporate milk, cream, salt, and melted butter.

Combine cherries and their juice into the batter and pour into the dish.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is domed and a knife comes out clean.

Sprinkle with caster sugar and serve warm.

Mix cherries, sugar, and kirsch and macerate for two hours.
