I am looking for a recipe for Cherry Dutch Cake?

When I was a kid a bakery had a treat called Cherry Dutch Cake or Cherry Custard cake. It was a butter bread, with cherry filling covered with a yellow sweet custard. It was great, the baker has since died I can't find it anywhere.I am looking for a recipe for Cherry Dutch Cake?
