I tried baking my first cherry clafouti today, and it didn't turn out quite the way I would have liked. I guess I thought that a clafouti was more of a cake, but I should have realized that with 6 eggs in it, it would be a bit more custard like. It tasted just fine. I just think it didn't bake long enough. The recipe had it baking for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. It sure looks to me like it could have gone for another 10 minutes. Maybe some of you more experienced bakers can tell by looking at the finished product if that was the problem or if it might be something else. I'm going to use the same recipe again, only I'll be using raspberries and this time I'm baking for 40 minutes. We'll see what happens. I'm also posting the recipe for anyone that's interested.
