Clafoutis inspired cranberry dessert

This Clafoutis inspired cranberry dessert is very easy to rustle up and a great way to use up fresh cranberries. I made a clafoutis some time ago, and based on that, I made this dessert (can’t call this a clafoutis though), with some alterations for a cakey texture. […]
