Drain the cherries well. Separate eggs. Beat fat, sugar and vanilla sugar until creamy. Add the egg yolks one after the other. Stir in semolina and pudding powder. Add quark, lemon juice and zest and mix. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the quark mixture. Fold in the cherries as well. Grease a springform pan (26 cm Ø). Pour curd mixture into the mould and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: not suitable/ gas: level 2) for 60-70 minutes. Take out the cheesecake, remove the cake edge from the edge of the tin with a knife, let it cool down a little. Remove the edge of the springform pan and let the cake cool down. Roast the almonds in a pan without fat, remove. Warm up the jam slightly. Spread the cake rim with the jam and sprinkle with the almonds. Cut out a stencil as a cherry with a stalk. Place it on the cake and dust with icing sugar. Remove the template carefully. Whipped cream tastes good with it
waiting time approx. 2 hours
