This Thermomix® recipe for Yeast Cake with Cherries and Marzipan Streusels is ready in 3 h and yields 12 servings. Step-by-step guide with precise Thermomix® settings on MixBuch.

Description

This juicy yeast cake with cherries and crunchy marzipan streusels is an absolute delight! I especially like to bake it in the summer when the cherries are fresh from the tree. The slightly sour taste of the cherries harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of the yeast dough and the aromatic marzipan streusels. The preparation is a bit more complex, but the result is worth every effort. The cake is ideal for birthdays, coffee parties or simply as a sweet reward in between. It can also be prepared well and tastes delicious both warm and cold.

About this recipe

This yeast cake with cherries and marzipan streusels is a piece of my childhood. My grandma had a huge cherry tree in the garden, and in the summer there was nothing better than picking cherries with her and then baking this cake. The scent that then wafted through the house is unforgettable. The ingredients all play an important role in the taste and texture of the cake. The yeast makes the dough loose and airy, while the butter makes it juicy. The cherries bring a fruity acidity into play, which harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of the sugar. The cherry nectar and grenadine enhance the cherry aroma and give the compote a beautiful color. The marzipan streusels are the icing on the cake: they are crunchy, aromatic and give the cake a special touch. The curd in the cheese mixture provides a creamy consistency and a slightly sour contrast to the sweet compote. With the Thermomix® workflow, it is important to follow the order of the steps exactly. Especially when heating the milk for the yeast dough, make sure that it does not get too hot, as this can kill the yeast. When preparing the cherry compote, the reverse rotation is important so that the cherries do not overcook. The marzipan streusels are best when the butter is cold. The streusels can also be prepared the day before and stored in the refrigerator. If you want to prepare the cake vegetarian, you can simply make sure that the ingredients used are vegetarian. For a vegan version, you would have to replace the eggs and butter in the dough as well as the curd in the cheese mixture. There are now many good alternatives for this. For example, you could use soy yogurt instead of curd and margarine instead of butter. Instead of eggs, you can use applesauce or flaxseed flour. You can also vary the taste of the cake with other spices. Cinnamon, cardamom or tonka bean go perfectly with cherries and marzipan. The yeast cake with cherries and marzipan streusels tastes best lukewarm, but it is also a treat when cold. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream goes perfectly with it. If you like it fruitier, you can also garnish the cake with fresh cherries or raspberries. The cake can be prepared well in advance. The yeast dough can be prepared the day before and left to rise in the refrigerator. The cherry compote and the marzipan streusels can also be prepared in advance. The finished cake can be stored in the refrigerator. It will keep there for about 2-3 days.
