Time 2h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups vanilla almond milk
⅓ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
5 cups 1-inch cubes of day-old Brioche bread
3 large eggs
1 ¼ cups pitted and halved cherries
1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook just until butter has melted and set aside to cool.
  • Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray.
  • Add bread cubes to the baking dish. Whisk eggs into the butter mixture until well combined and pour over the bread cubes, pressing down a bit so bread cubes are submerged. Stir cherries into the bread cube mixture and distribute evenly. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the bread pudding.
  • Bake until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center, about 65 minutes. Bread pudding will puff up but drop shortly after coming out of the oven, just like a souffle. Place on a baking rack and cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I've always loved bread pudding, and I enjoy fixing this for my family on a chilly day. You could use a different flavor of pie filling and omit the chocolate chips to make a completely different dessert. It's always delicious! -Ronna Farley, Rockville, Maryland

SWEET CHERRY UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Sweet Cherry Upside-Down Cake image

There's a little black pepper in this cake, which provides just enough heat to enhance the sweetness of the cherries. If you're worried about the pepper, cut back on the amount called for, but if you're excited about it, you may want to double it. This is a sweet, rustic and rich upside-down cake that's sturdy enough to hold up to its juicy fruit topping. Once the finished cake gets inverted onto a platter, the extra cherry juice soaks back into the cake as it cools, which means it gets better as it sits. Serve the cake with lemon whipped cream made by beating cold heavy cream with the leftover lemon juice and some sugar until stiff. It's helpful for covering up any imperfections in the cake, too!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Yields One 9-inch cake
1 pound/450 grams sweet cherries, halved and pitted (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/4 packed cup/55 grams light brown sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black or white pepper, plus more if you like
8 tablespoons/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and cooled to room temperature
2 large eggs, whites and yolks separated
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups/225 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/240 milliliters cold heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a 9-inch cake pan (or cast-iron skillet), add the cherries, brown sugar, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper, and 2 tablespoons melted butter; toss gently to combine. Place in the oven for up to 10 minutes to begin softening the cherries while you make the cake batter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, granulated sugar, sour cream, vanilla and baking soda with the remaining 6 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Sprinkle the flour over top then fold it in until evenly combined and a thick batter is formed.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or in a medium mixing bowl with a handheld electric beater, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes or until stiff. Add 1/3 of the beaten egg whites to the cake batter and gently fold, then add the remaining egg whites and fold until fully incorporated, trying to keep as much air as possible in the whites.
  • Remove the hot pan from the oven, shake it gently to toss the fruit a final time, then dollop the cake batter over the top, and gently spread it evenly to the edges. (It's OK if some fruit juice or cherries pool over the edges of the batter.)
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven, run a butter knife around the edges, and then allow it to rest for 10 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a lipped platter to catch any juices.
  • Once the cake has cooled, make the lemon whipped cream, if desired: In the cleaned bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or in a medium mixing bowl using a handheld beater, add the heavy cream, lemon juice and granulated sugar, and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds to thicken and combine, then turn the speed to high and beat until desired stiffness.
  • Serve the cake at room temperature, with lemon whipped cream, if using.

CHERRY BREAD PUDDING



Cherry Bread Pudding image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds fresh cherries, washed, stemmed and pitted
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
8 2/3-inch slices stale coarse country-style bread, crust removed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Place the cherries in a nonreactive saucepan and sprinkle with the sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the water, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Stir in lemon juice. Refrigerate until cold.
  • Preheat broiler. Lightly butter a 9-inch nonreactive skillet, preferably one that would be attractive to serve from. Brush 1 side of each bread slice with butter and place, buttered side up, in the skillet, slightly overlapping, in 1 layer. Set under broiler to lightly toast the bread. Cool completely.
  • Strain the cherries, reserving the juice. Ladle the cherry juice over the bread and make sure that all of the bread is completely saturated with juice. Scatter the cherries over the top. Place the skillet over medium heat and bring the juices to a boil. Cover with foil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the pudding cool to room temperature in the pan. Sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality loaf of bread for the best flavor and texture. A sturdy bread like a French baguette or a sourdough loaf will hold up well to the custard mixture and won't get soggy.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Be sure to grease the pan well before adding the cherry mixture and bread cubes. This will help prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overmix the custard mixture. Overmixing can make the bread pudding tough.
  • Bake the bread pudding until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the bread pudding cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the bread pudding from falling apart.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm or at room temperature. It's delicious on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Cherry upside-down bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover bread, and it's always a hit with family and friends. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
