Pit the cherries. If removing cherries from the jar, drain them, reserving the juice for another use. Bring the cherries to a boil with 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and about 150 ml of water. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water until smooth, add to the mixture, and bring back to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Place the Viennese base in a round tart dish and drizzle with coffee and juice. Place the cherries on the base. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with vanilla sugar and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Fold in the mascarpone. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold into the mixture along with the remaining sugar and cornstarch. Spread over the cherries and sprinkle with cocoa. Bake at 175°C for about 30 minutes.
