Grease a drip pan and dust with flour. Prepare fresh cherries or let the cherries drain well from the glass. Cut the marzipan into small pieces and mix with 1 teaspoon flour.
Mix 250 g butter, 200 g sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon zest and salt with the mixer until creamy. Stir in eggs one at a time. Mix 250 g flour, starch and baking powder and stir in briefly.
Spread the batter on the drip pan. Mix the cherries and 1-2 tablespoon flour. Spread the cherries and marzipan on the dough. Bake in the preheated oven (electric stove: 175 degrees, convection: 150 degrees, gas: level 2) for about 20 minutes.
Melt 100 g butter. Stir in 100 g sugar and almonds. Let cool down for about 5 minutes. Spread as blobs on the dough. Bake for another 20 minutes at the same temperature. Let cool down. Every oven bakes differently, so the baking times are only guidelines.
