Drain the cherries well. Peel and finely grate the carrots. Finely chop the chocolate. Beat eggs and sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer for 3-4 minutes until creamy. Mix almonds, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and stir in. Fold in the carrots at the end
Line a square ovenproof dish (approx. 22 x 22 cm) with baking paper. Put half of the dough into the baking tin. Spread cherries and chocolate on top and cover with the rest of the dough. Sprinkle the dough with flaked almonds and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 25-35 minutes
Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool down for about 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the tin and let it cool down on a cake rack. Whipped cream tastes good with it
