Pudding Bublanina

Instructions

• 1
  Melt the butter ⁠–⁠ you can place it in a bowl and heat it for 30⁠–⁠60 seconds in the microwave at 750 W, or melt it on the stovetop in a saucepan (2⁠–⁠3 minutes on low heat will suffice).
• 2
  Preheat the oven to 180⁠–⁠185 °C, prepare a baking dish measuring 27 cm × 35 cm, grease it with melted butter, and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
• 3
  Take a large bowl, pour in the semi-coarse flour, baking powder, vanilla pudding mix, and sugar, and mix everything. Add the egg, milk, and sunflower oil to the resulting mixture and work into a thinner batter.
• 4
  Pour the finished batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly over the bottom. Then, evenly sprinkle the batter with cherries, gently pressing them into the batter.
• 5
  Place the baking dish with the batter into the preheated oven and bake for 35⁠–⁠40 minutes at 180⁠–⁠185 °C, until the top of the batter turns golden brown.

  Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the Bublanina cool in the dish for at least 45 minutes.
