How to Make Cherry Bake

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
Grease four 250ml (8.5 oz) ovenproof ramekins or a similar sized baking dish.
Divide the cherries evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Gradually whisk in the flour until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Carefully pour the batter evenly over the cherries in each ramekin.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
