Approach:
1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line the bottom of a round springform cake tin with baking paper.
2. Heat the butter and let it cool. In a bowl, mix the flour with the icing sugar, vanilla sugar and baking powder. In another bowl, beat the ricotta and then beat in the eggs one at a time. Gradually mix in the flour mixture and finally mix in the butter.
3. Pour the dough into the prepared form, smooth the surface and sprinkle evenly with pitted cherries and then almond slices.
