Directions

1
Knead the flour, fat, 100 g sugar, vanillin sugar, salt and egg to a smooth dough and cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, roast the almond slivers in a dry pan. Drain the cherries on a sieve, collecting the juice. Stir 100 ml cherry juice, remaining sugar and pudding powder until smooth. Bring the remaining cherry juice to the boil, stir in the pudding powder, bring to the boil again and carefully fold in the cherries. Fold almond slivers, up to 1-2 tablespoons, into the cherry compote. Roll out 2/3 of the short pastry on a floured work surface to a circle (approx. 36 cm Ø). Place the circle in a greased springform pan (26 cm Ø) and press the edge (approx. 5 cm) firmly. Prick the dough several times with a fork. Line the base with wafers, fill in compote and smooth it down. Roll out the rest of the dough to a circle (26 cm Ø) and lay on the compote. Press the rim well. Bake the cake in a preheated oven (electric: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 50 minutes. Whisk the egg yolk and milk and spread the cake with it about 10 minutes before the end of the baking time. Remove the cake from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining almonds and decorate with sugar crystals. Let it cool down. Results in about 16 pieces
