Preparation
1
Mix 200 g flour, baking powder, 75 g sugar, salt and 1 packet of vanilla sugar. Add the egg and 100 g cold butter in flakes and knead in with the dough hook of a hand mixer. Wrap the dough in foil and chill for about 30 minutes. Grease the springform pan (Ø 26 cm) thinly with butter.

Put the sour cherries in a sieve, drain and collect the juice. Measure out 250 ml of cherry juice and place in a saucepan. Mix the juice with cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, and simmer for about 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat, fold in the cherries and allow to cool slightly.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface into a circle of approx. 34 cm. Line the springform pan with dough, forming a rim approx. 4 cm high. Spread the cherry mixture evenly over the cake.

For the crumble, roughly knead 100 g butter, 100 g sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt with your hands. Mix the almonds with 200 g flour, add to the butter all at once and knead into crumbles. Spread the crumble evenly over the cherries and bake the cake in a preheated oven (electric oven: 175 °C/ convection: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for about 45 minutes until golden brown.
