PREPARATION

Step 1
Grease a springform pan (⌀ 26 cm) with butter and dust with flour. For the dough, sift flour, icing sugar, baking cocoa and salt into a bowl. Add butter and egg and knead with a mixer to form a compact dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and chill for about 30 minutes.

Step 2
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface, press it into the springform pan and pull up an edge. Prick the dough several times with a fork. For the cherry filling, put the cherries in a sieve and collect the liquid. Bring two thirds of the cherry juice to the boil in a saucepan.

Step 3
Use a whisk to mix the remaining cherry juice with the cornstarch, sugar and cinnamon until smooth. As soon as the cherry juice boils in the pan, stir in the mixture and bring the whole thing to the boil once, stirring constantly.  Then add the cherries, remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool.
