Drain the cherries. Pour crème fraiche into a bowl. Rinse and dry the cup. Stir fat and sugar until creamy. Stir in eggs one after the other.
Stir in crème fraiche and lemon peel. Mix flour, baking powder and salt and stir in. Grease a springform pan (26 cm Ø). Put the dough into the form, smooth it down and spread cherries on it. Bake the cake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the mould. Chop the chocolate coating and melt on a water bath. Let the chocolate coating cool down. Remove the cake from the tin and place it on a cake plate. Pour the chocolate coating in strips over the cake with a spoon.
