Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup yogurt
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1.5 packets of baking powder
• A few drops of lemon juice
• 2.5 cups flour
• 1 bowl of cherries or sour cherries

1. Prepare the dough:
   • In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the consistency is similar to mayonnaise.
   • Add the yogurt, oil, vanilla sugar and a few drops of lemon juice, mixing on the lowest speed until well combined.
   • Gently stir in the flour and baking powder until well incorporated without overmixing.
2. Add the cherries:
   • Gently fold the cherries into the batter to distribute them evenly without crushing them.
3. Preparation and cooking:
   • Butter a cake tin and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, tapping the pan on the counter three times to release any air bubbles.
   • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Let cool and serve:
   • Allow the cake to cool in the tin before removing from the tin. Once cooled, dust with icing sugar and add additional cherry decorations if desired.
