Warm up the milk. Put the flour in a bowl and make a depression in the middle. Crumble yeast into it. Add half of the lukewarm milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cover everything with some flour and let it rise in a warm place for 15-20 minutes.
Wash the lemon, grate dry and grate the peel. Halve the lemon, squeeze the juice from 1 half. Melt the fat in the remaining milk and add to the flour. Add 100 g sugar, vanillin sugar, salt, lemon juice and zest and eggs to the flour. Mix everything with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rise for another 30 minutes. In the meantime clean and stone the cherries. Pour the dough by the spoonful into a greased and floured ring cake tin (2 1/2 litres capacity) and distribute the cherries evenly. Cover and leave to rise for another 15 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 60-65 minutes.
