Instructions

  1. Cover a 26 springform pan with aluminum foil (bottom and edge)!
  2. Ground:
  3. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  4. Beat the egg yolks with the mixer on high for about 3 minutes; Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and mix for about 5 minutes. Now stir in the flour mixture, butter and cocoa powder.
  5. In another bowl, whip up the egg whites with the tartar and the remaining sugar; then carefully fold into the rest of the dough.
  6. Pour the dough into the prepared pan and bake for about 10 minutes at 175 ° C. Then leave in the mold and set aside.
  7. Cherry filling:
  8. Bring the cherry juice, cornstarch and sugar to the boil, then add the lemon juice and cherries. Let cool down.
  9. Cheesecake:
  10. Mix the cream cheese, sugar and cornstarch; Add vanilla extract and brandy. Then stir in the eggs one by one and stir in the cream briefly. Finally fold in the cooled cherry filling and distribute everything on the pre-baked base.
  11. Place the springform pan in a 2-3 cm high water bath (I use a deep baking sheet). Bake in the oven on the middle rack at 175 ° C for about 80 minutes, until the surface of the cake is golden brown. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool down for 2 hours; do not move. Then place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  12. Then you can decorate the cheesecake, e.g. with the icing on the cake, by sprinkling it with melted chocolate or adding a few cherries.
