 Ingredients
2 eggs, 2 egg whites, 125g butter, 4tblspoons suger white or brown, 100g ground almonds, 
250g flour,  3Tbls baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt
Topping
1.5 kg cherries (today I use pittet, bottled ones)
200g flour, 125 sugar, 125 butter, 1/2 teaspoon  cinnamon
(I love the streusel,  so I double the topping recipe)
Instructions
First seperate the eggs, whisk egg whites to stiff peaks, chill in fridge. Mix egg yolks, sugar, and butter to a fluffy mix. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and almonds. In the end gently fold in stiff egg whites. Preheat oven to 200°C.
Prepare a baking tray with baking paper. Pour mix into prepared tin.
In a separate bowl mix the streusel (200g flour, 125g sugar, 125g butter, cinnamon).
