Cherry bake or Kirschenmichel

This is an old classic too.


Get rid of stale buns or sweet breads. During cherry season was that an ofter prepared sweet, eaten after a light soup as a main dish or served at a coffee table.

We used some day old raisin buns, a little sweet like brioche bread. But a tasty Bloomer loaf will do too.
Use a baking dish, when you serve many people or for fine dining use individual moulds. This kind of bread pudding is served with vanilla custard and some leftover cherries.


recipe for 4:
6 buns
5 eggs
125 g butter
375 ml milk
125 g sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
750 g fresh or frozen cherries
a pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon


In a kitchen machine beat 5 egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, add 25 g of sugar and beat again until very stiff. Set aside in an other bowl.

Heat up the oven to 170 C
In the same bowl beat egg yolks with 100 g sugar, cinnamon and vanilla until creamy and add the soft butter for a fine mix.
Add baking powder.
Heat the milk and cut the buns into slices. Soak them in the milk and stir a couple of times.
Bing it together, mix in the cherries and butter an ovenproof dish.
Top with some almond slices and bake for 40-45 min.
Eat it at room temperature.
