Ingredients

  • 2 cups ground cherry fresh, husks removed
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour all-purpose, sifted
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar for dusting, if desired

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter and lightly flour one 9x9-inch or two 8-inch round baking dish. Scatter the ground cherries and slivered almonds in the dish.
  • Whisk the eggs, sugars, salt, and flour together until smooth.
  • Add the milk, whipping cream, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Pour into the baking dish.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The finished batter will jiggle slightly when it's pull out of the oven which is normal. Place on a wire rack to cool. The flognarde will have puffed up quite a bit and will deflate while cooling. When cool dust the flognarde with powdered sugar if desired.
