Vanilla Custard Cake with Cherries

For the dough, heap the flour on the work surface. Add the egg yolks and the butter in pieces to the center. Add salt, sugar and vanilla sugar and knead everything from the center to a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for about 30 minutes.

For the topping, slit the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Bring the milk to the boil with the vanilla pulp, stirring. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and lemon zest and stir in the hot milk. Stir in the flour with the lemon zest and heat everything together while stirring until creamy (do not let it boil!). Pour the cream through a sieve into a bowl and let it cool down.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C bottom and top heat. Drain the cherries.

Roll out the dough on a little flour and line the buttered tart pan with it, forming a rim as you go. Prick the bottom several times with a fork. Pour the cooled vanilla cream onto the pastry base and smooth it out.

Sprinkle with the cherries and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown (test with a stick), cover in time if the tart browns too much.

Let cool slightly, remove from the pan and let cool on a cooling rack.
