Grease a springform pan (approx. 26 cm Ø) and dust with flour. Preheat the oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Drain all cherries and let them drain well. Put yoghurt into a mixing bowl.
Wash out the yoghurt cup, dry well and use as a measuring cup.
Add eggs, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla sugar and oil to the yoghurt. Mix with the whisk of the mixer. Mix flour and baking powder and stir in portions. Put the dough into the form and smooth it down.
Spread half of the cherries on the cake and press in about 1 cm deep. Then sprinkle the remaining cherries over it.
Bake in a hot oven for about 1 hour. After approx. 50 minutes baking time make a cooking test. After about 30 minutes baking time, sprinkle the cake with flaked almonds. If necessary, cover the cake with aluminium foil for the last 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and remove from the rim. Let the cake cool down. Dust with icing sugar.
