Tart ground cherries compliment a sweet almond and custard like filling in a somewhat traditional French Clafoutis. Traditional French Clafoutis is made using fresh cherries with their pits still in. The pits give the dessert the slight almond taste. Ground cherries do not have pits so the addition of almond flavoring is required.

The June Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart… er… pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating back to the 1800’s in England.

TWD: French Yogurt Cake with Marmalade Glaze. Gateau au Yaourt, is the first cake a French child learns to make. The measuring for this cake is all done by using the container that the yogurt comes in, which is approximately 1/2 cup, and in France the yogurt containers are glass and adorable (I have over a dozen that I use for various things from puddings to candle holders).
This weeks challenge was brought to us by Lyb of And then I do the dishes and she picked the cake that Dorie got fired over: the Chocolate Armagnac Cake.
