Using a handheld mixer, beat on medium-high speed until ribbons form when you lift the beater just slightly out of the batter, about 8 minutes. Add the heavy cream, flour and vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to low and beat until thoroughly blended, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Put the prepared baking dish on a baking sheet and slide into the oven to preheat for 4 to 5 minutes.

• Remove the baking sheet from the oven, pour the cherry mixture into the baking dish and top with the batter. Bake until set in the middle, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm with confectioners' sugar and a small dollop of whipped cream.
