preparation
-
First, rinse the cherries and set a few aside for garnish. Stone the rest. Mix butter and sugar until a cream forms. Beat in the eggs separately. In another bowl mix flour and baking powder. First stir the poppy seed mixture, sour cream and lemon zest, then the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Fold in the cherries and 80 g Amarettini.
-
Lightly grease a Gugelhupf tin (with a capacity of about 3 L) and dust with flour. Pour in the batter and bake in a hot oven (electric stove: 180 degrees, convection: 160 degrees, gas: level 2) for about 50 minutes. Cool briefly, turn out and cool on a wire rack.
-
For the glaze, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and mix in the lemon juice until smooth. Stir in a few drops of pink food coloring. Spread the icing over the cake. Coarsely crumble 20 g Amarettini. Decorate the cake with the remaining cherries and amarettini. Allow the plaster to dry. Finished!
