a little more complex

For the base, mix together eggs, salt, sugar, vanilla sugar, and butter. Sift over the flour, starch, baking powder, and cocoa powder and mix in. Pour the batter into a greased springform pan lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 30 minutes. Test with a skewer if it is cooked through. After baking, let the base cool. Drain the sour cherries, place them in a saucepan with 1/4 liter of the juice, the glaze, and sugar to taste, heat through, thicken, and let cool. Stir the cake cream according to the package instructions until creamy. Make a ring around the base and drizzle with a little kirsch. If children are eating with you, omit the kirsch. Place the thickened cherries on top. Spread 2/3 of the cake cream on the cherries and refrigerate the cake. After about 1 hour, remove the ring and spread the remaining cream over the edge. Knead the marzipan with a little powdered sugar, roll it out, cut it out the size of the cake base, and place it on the cake. Melt the chocolate coating with a little coconut oil and spread it on the marzipan. Sprinkle the brittle around the edges. While the chocolate coating is still soft, draw lines and decorate the cake with cream dots, cherries, or your own decorations. Chill the cake thoroughly. I made the cake a themed cake.
