Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours

Grease a 26cm springform pan. Drain the cherries and preheat the oven to 160°C (top/bottom heat). For the dough, mix the flour with the baking powder. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, eggs, ground almonds, liqueur, and butter. Beat the ingredients with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes until a smooth dough forms. Carefully fold in the amaretti biscuits and the well-drained cherries. Pour the batter into the springform pan and smooth it out. Place the pan in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle the cake with the whole almonds. After baking, let the cake cool slightly in the pan, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely. Tip: The cake can be refined with whipped cream and additional Amaretto.
