for a baking tray

Freeze the marzipan briefly. Remove from the oven and grate it. Mix softened butter, eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla sugar. Stir in the marzipan. Fold in the flour and baking powder. Grease a baking sheet and sprinkle with breadcrumbs, then place half of the batter on it. Drain the sour cherries and spread them evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the cherries. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes on the middle rack. If the cake still has a dent in the center after the specified baking time, bake for another 5 minutes until the cake is evenly covered. If necessary, reduce the heat slightly for another 5 minutes, otherwise the cake will become too dark. After baking, spread the warm jam over the cake. Make a glaze from powdered sugar and lemon juice and spread it over the cake. Please note: the marzipan contains almonds, so it is not suitable for people with nut allergies.
