Stir room-warm butter with the sugar until the sugar no longer crunches. Then gradually add 4 eggs and stir to a white foamy cream.
Mix the ground hazelnuts, grated chocolate, cinnamon, baking powder and sifted flour and add to the cream. Stir again briefly until a uniform mass has formed.
Put the dough in a greased, floured form and spread the drained morello cherries on top (they will disappear in the course of baking).
Bake the cake at 170 ° C for approx. 55 minutes. Chopstick sample.
After cooling, it is very lightly sifted with powdered sugar - but it doesn`t have to be.
I always make the cake the day before, because then it is really delicious and juicy.
