Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Spread the cherries on the dish.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk.
Add the sugar while beating until dissolved.
Add gradually, in the following order, the flour, almond powder, milk, cream and kirsch.
Place the mixture in the pie dish and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the top is nicely browned and the tip of a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Set aside to cool for about 15 minutes.
With a sieve, sprinkle the clafoutis with icing sugar.
