Cream cheese cake, but also tastes very good with quark

Prepare a shortcrust pastry from the dough ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, egg, and butter). After chilling (about 1 hour), roll it out on a floured surface, place it in a greased springform pan, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 25 minutes. For the topping, mix the quark with the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. Then fold in the stiffly whipped cream. Place a cake ring around the baked and well-cooled cake base and spread half of the cream on top. Distribute the drained cherries evenly over the cream. Spread the remaining cream on top. Finally, cook the red glaze with the cherry juice and pour it over the cake while it’s still hot. Refrigerate the finished cake for about 3 hours.
