Process all ingredients except for the cherries with a hand mixer or a food processor to a smooth dough.
Pour the dough into a 26 springform pan that has been previously greased and coated with breadcrumbs or lined with baking paper (for a 28 springform pan, adjust the ingredients by a factor of 1.5).
Drain the cherries and pat them dry with kitchen paper, otherwise they will sink to the bottom during baking.
Bake the cake in a non-preheated oven at 180 ° C for approx. 50 minutes. At the end, do the chopstick test, as each oven heats slightly differently.
