Servings: 12

2 Glasses (720 ml each) Cherries
300 g Butter
175 g + 2 tablespoons icing sugar
3 Eggs (size M)
350 g Flour
200 g ground almonds with skin
1 pinch Cinnamon
9 (each 9 cm Ø) Baking wafers
1 glass (340 g) Sour cherry jam extra
50 g flaked almonds
1 Egg yolk (size M)
1 TEASPOON Whipped cream
1 TABLESPOON Sugar crystals
baking paper

Directions

1
Drain the cherries very well in a sieve. Cream butter and 175 g icing sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir in the eggs one after the other. Mix flour, almonds and cinnamon and stir in portions.
2
Spread half of the dough on a round pizza tray (26 cm Ø) lined with baking paper (dough is slightly firmer). Cover with baking wafers. Mix cherries and jam, spread carefully on the wafers.
3
Fill the remaining dough into a piping bag with a perforated spout. Spray a grid on the cherries. Sprinkle with flaked almonds. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 45-50 minutes.
4
Whisk the egg yolk and cream. 10-15 minutes before the end of the baking time, spread the cake on the grid. Take the cake out of the oven, place it on a grid and let it cool down very well. Dust with 2 tablespoons of icing sugar and sprinkle with sugar crystals.
5
Carefully lift the cooled cake out of the baking tray with the baking paper. Cut into pieces and serve. Crème fraîche tastes good with it.
