Preheat the wood-fired oven.

Add butter to a hot Le Creuset pan and let it melt.

Add 20g of brown sugar to the pan and return it to the oven to caramelize.

In a mixing bowl, combine 180ml of half and half, 25g of brown sugar, a generous pinch of sea salt, 2 eggs, the zest of 1 orange, and the seeds of 1 scraped vanilla bean; mix well.

Add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix until combined.

Warm unpitted cherries in the caramelized butter in the pan to release their flavors.

Add 25g of bourbon to the cherries and mix.

Pour the batter over the warmed cherries in the pan, shaking to make it even.

Bake in the wood-fired oven for 15 minutes until set.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Serve warm with a scoop of freshly churned vanilla ice cream.
