Cream together 300 grams of unsalted butter, 250 grams of sugar, and 1 pouch of vanilla sugar until completely combined and creamy.

In a separate bowl, mix 450 grams of flour, 1 heaping teaspoon of double acting baking powder, and a pinch of salt until completely combined and set aside.

Separate 6 eggs into whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, ensuring they don't slide down when flipped.

In the bowl with the creamed butter and sugar, add the flour mixture, egg yolks, and 200 ml of milk, mixing until combined.

Gently fold in the beaten egg whites into the mixture.

Dump the mixture onto a parchment-lined rectangular baking pan.

Spread the entire jar of drained pitted red sour cherries evenly over the batter.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on your oven.

Once baked, cool to room temperature before slicing.
