Alex HollyWood says “This is named after my French godmother – Monique – who makes a perfect baked Clafoutis. I love the way you can see the whole berries nestling in the buttery cake mixture. Served with crème fraiche, this is divine.”
- Preheat the oven to 180c and grease a baking dish.
- In a bowl mix the strawberries and blackberries with the brandy and allow to sit.
- Sift the flour into a bowl and stir in the baking powder, sugar and salt. In a separate, dish whisk the eggs, vanilla and cream together then slowly add the mix to the flour, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
- Place the brandied fruit into the greased dish arranging it so that the rounded sides of the strawberries face upwards and pour the batter over the top.
- Bake for 35 minutes until puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven, dust with the icing sugar and serve.
