Zutaten
For the yeast dough:
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 1 cube Fresh yeast 42 g
- 220 ml Milk
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 80 g Unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ tsp Salt
For the topping:
- 1 Glas Tart sour cherries
- 150 g Unsalted butter room temperature
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Vanilla sugar
- 100 g Sliced almonds
Zubereitung
- Crumble the yeast into the mixing bowl along with the flour and milk. Warm for 2 min / 37°C / Speed 2.
- Add the remaining dough ingredients—sugar, eggs, butter pieces, and salt—and knead for 4 min on the Dough setting until a smooth dough forms.
- Transfer the soft dough into a bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1.5 hours.
- Press the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using floured hands, gently spread it out evenly all the way into the corners.
- Loosely cover the baking sheet with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, drain the sour cherries thoroughly in a strainer or colander.
- Toward the end of the second rise time, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) top/bottom heat.
- Once risen, generously flour your fingers and press deep dimples close together all over the dough.
- Gently press the drained cherries into the dimples, then dot small patted pieces of butter evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the cake, followed by the sugar and vanilla sugar.
- Bake in the lower third of the oven for 20–25 minutes, until the cake turns a gorgeous golden brown.
- Remove the butter cake from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm. Enjoy!
