Lay out a greased springform (26 cm Ø) with the dough and press the dough well on the edge of the mold. Pierce dough base several times with a fork and keep the shape cold for about 30 minutes. Drain the cherries on a sieve.
3. For the quark mixture, melt the butter and allow to cool. Separate the eggs and mix the egg yolks with cottage cheese, 75 g sugar, vanilla sugar, custard powder and lemon zest. Stir in lukewarm butter. Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff and carefully lift them under the creamy mass. Add cherries.
4. Fill the quark mixture into the prepared springform pan. Pluck the remaining dough with your hands and spread on the quark mixture. Bake the cake in the preheated oven (electric stove: 175 ° C / circulating air: 150 ° C / gas: stage 2) for approx. 55 minutes. Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack.
