5. Pour in the water and stir briefly with the mixer.
6. Finally, drain the cherries well in a sieve, pat dry and fold into the batter.
7. Pour everything into a springform pan (28, 26 is also possible) and bake at 180 ° C for about 1 hour (top and bottom heat).
8. After cooling, cover the cake with the icing. Decorate with chocolate sprinkles or something similar.
