Take a 9" deep dish, or a 9x9" square baking dish, and butter it with some softened butter. Take a large bowl, and put cream, milk, eggs, flour, vanilla, sugar, and almond extract into it. Add some salt and whisk everything together until a thin, smooth batter is formed. Spread about 3/4 cup of the prepared batter on the bottom of baking dish. Put it in the preheated oven, and let it bake for about 2 to 4 minutes. Monitor the batter while it cooks and remove it before it is thoroughly cooked. The batter should be a little thickened and set when you remove it from oven. Pour some batter on a heatproof surface. Arrange the cherries all over the hot, half-cooked batter. Put the remaining batter all over the cherries. Put this dish in the oven and let it bake for about 35 to 40 minutes. Take a knife and insert it into the Cherry Clafouti. If it comes out clean, the dish is ready to be taken out of oven. Sprinkle the sugar (confectioners') all over the finished dessert, and serve it warm.
