For the Cherry Topping:

Instructions:
Get the base ready:
- Add the oatmeal flour, crushed almonds, cocoa powder, salt, honey or sugar-free syrup, and milk to a mixing bowl. Mix until the dough is smooth.
- Press the dough into the bottom of a baking dish to create the base after greasing it with vegetable oil. Prepare the filling. Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanillin, and sugar-free syrup or sweetener in a separate bowl. Stir until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Cover the baking dish’s base with the cottage cheese mixture.
- Bake Set the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F). The top of the cake should be brown and firm after 40 minutes of baking.
- Cherry Topping: Place the cherries and sweetener in a small skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the starch to the cherry mixture after dissolving it in a little water. Stir and cook until the mixture thickens and a syrupy sauce coats the cherries.
- Serve: Spread the cherry topping over the cake when it has cooled a little. Cut into slices and serve. Have fun!
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature to make the filling smoother and fluffier.
- You can replace the almonds with any other type of nuts or omit them for a nut-free version.
- For a more decadent taste, use dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder.
