Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ⅛ cups confectioners' sugar
⅞ cup butter
5 ⅜ cups cake flour
3 eggs
½ teaspoon orange flower water
2 pounds sour cherries, pitted
3 eggs, room temperature
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 fluid ounce kirschwasser
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup white sugar

Steps:

  • To Make Dough: Cream the confectioners' sugar and 3 eggs together in a large bowl. Stir in the orange flower water. Add the butter or margarine, and mix well. Slowly add the cake flour, blending only to combine. Scrape onto a piece of plastic, and wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour. Roll dough out on a floured surface, and fit into a 11 inch tart pan. Make sure there are no holes in the dough.
  • Place the cherries into the tart shell. Fit as many as you can in in one layer.
  • To Make Filling: Using a mixer, cream together the 3 eggs, 1/4 cup flour, kirsch, cream, and white sugar until smooth. Pour over the cherries.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 40 minutes, or until the filling is just set. Allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

The tart was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The crust was very good, though.

This tart is a must-try! The combination of cherries and almonds is simply heavenly. The crust is also perfectly flaky and buttery. I can't wait to make it again.

The tart was a little runny, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

The tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the filling.

The cherry tart was good, but the crust was a little too thick for my taste. Next time, I'll try using a different crust recipe.
