14 gr vanilla extract
1 gr allspice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a 23 cm pie pan. Place flour in medium bowl and make a well in the center. Drain cherries, reserving the liquid. Pour liquid into a blender and add remaining one third cup sugar, plus the milk, eggs, vanilla, allspice, lemon zest and salt. Blend well. Pour liquid mixture into the well in the flour and blend into a smooth batter. Spread cherries evenly in prepared pan. Pour batter over fruit. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and bake 45 to 50 minutes more until claf outi is puffy and golden. (A sharp knife inserted in the center should come out clean.) Let cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm. Per serving: 216 calories, 5 gm protein, 38 gm carbohydrates, 3 gm fat, 84 mg cholesterol, 1 gm saturated fat, 80 mg sodium The Washington Post
