Mix fat, sugar and salt with the whisk of the hand mixer for about 5 minutes until creamy. Stir in the eggs one after the other. Mix 125 g flour, starch and baking powder and stir in alternately with the egg liqueur. Turn frozen cherries in 1 tablespoon of flour and fold into the dough. Pour the dough into a silicone mould (crown form; 1 litre capacity) (or a ring cake mould greased and dusted with flour).
Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 40 minutes. Let the cake rest in the pan for approx. 10 minutes, turn out onto a cake rack and let it cool down. Stir icing sugar and cherry juice until smooth. Spread the icing on the cake and let it dry for about 15 minutes. Decorate with pink sugar pearls and let dry again for about 30 minutes
waiting time approx. 1 1/2 hours
