Pit the cherries and add 1-2 tablespoons of flour to them - mix.
approx 500 g cherries, 1-2 tablespoons wheat flour
Whisk the eggs with sugar until very thick and fluffy.
6 eggs, 200 g sugar
Meanwhile, mix the flour with baking powder and ground almonds (mine were ground with skin, so they added a darker color to the cake).
300 g wheat flour - all-purpose, 75 g ground almonds, 2 teaspoons baking powder
Add flour alternately with oil to the batter and mix briefly - just until combined.
200 ml oil
Stop mixing when you can still see remnants of flour.
Add cherries to the batter and gently mix.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan (mine was lined with baking paper).
Sprinkle the top of the cake with chopped almonds or almond flakes.
approx 20 g chopped almonds
Bake the cake in an oven preheated to 170 degrees (convection, or 180 degrees top/bottom mode) for about 40 minutes - until a dry skewer comes out clean.
After baking, you can additionally sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar.
