Cola cake with cherries

Drain the cherries and soak them in the kirsch. Stir occasionally. Reserve the cherry juice. Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until frothy, then stir in the baking powder and flour, followed by the oil and cola. The mixture should be creamy; if it isn’t, add more flour or cola as needed. Grease a 28cm springform pan and pour in the batter. Place in an oven preheated to 150°C (convection oven) and bake for 25 minutes. Let the base cool thoroughly. Now beat the quark with the sugar, vanilla sugar, and cocoa powder with a mixer or whisk until smooth and spread the mixture over the cooled base. Caution: if the cake base is warm, the mixture will spread! Then distribute the cherries over the cake; the amount can be adjusted as desired. Make a glaze from the cherry juice you reserved at the beginning and the 150ml of cola. Mix 4 tablespoons of sugar with 3 packets of cold cake glaze and bring to a simmer, stirring gently with the cola and cherry juice. Remove the cake glaze from the heat and continue stirring gently for 1 minute. Slowly and carefully pour the still-warm glaze onto the cake using a spoon. Refrigerate the cake thoroughly until the glaze has completely set. Then carefully open the springform pan and, if necessary, loosen the edges with a knife. Cut the cake and enjoy!
