Grease a springform pan (26 cm Ø) and dust with flour. Remove the stalks from the cherries, wash and stone them (drain the cherries from the jar). Put yoghurt in a mixing bowl. Wash 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 briefly. Spread the dough into the form.
Spread half of the cherries on the cake and press in about 1 cm deep. Sprinkle the remaining cherries on top.
Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 30 minutes. Sprinkle with flaked almonds and bake at the same temperature for approx. 30 minutes (test with sticks; if necessary, cover with aluminium foil after approx. 20 minutes).
Remove from the oven and remove from the rim. Let the cake cool down. Dust with icing sugar.
