Pour the cherries into a sieve and drain well. Carefully dab dry with kitchen paper and dust with 25 g flour. Whip the eggs, powdered sugar and vanilla sugar to a light cream. Stir in egg liqueur and oil. Mix 125 g flour, starch and baking powder, pour onto the egg cream and stir in. Carefully fold in the cherries.
Pour the dough into a well-greased, flour-spread pan (2.5 litres capacity) and bake in a preheated oven (electric range: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 60-70 minutes. If necessary, cover the cake with aluminium foil after about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the mould for 15-20 minutes. Then turn out of the mould and let it cool down. Coarsely chop the chocolate coating and melt in a water bath. Spoon the chocolate coating over the cake and allow to dry
