Ingredients

2 cups canned tart cherries, drained
¼ cup brandy
⅔ cup white sugar, divided
cooking spray (such as Pam®)
1 cup milk
⅔ cup sifted all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Steps:

Mix cherries, brandy, and 1/3 cup white sugar in a bowl; let soak for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
Remove cherries from brandy mixture using a slotted spoon and transfer to the prepared pie pan. Pour brandy mixture into a blender; add remaining 1/3 cup sugar, milk, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, salt, and allspice to the blender. Pulse mixture until batter is smooth; pour over cherries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until golden and puffy, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly and dust with confectioners' sugar to serve.
