Step 2
Crack chicken eggs of any size into the bowl of a food processor or mixer. If you like, you can add up to five chicken eggs without changing the amount of sugar or the other ingredients. The more eggs you use, the loftier and airier the cake will be. Beat for 4–5 minutes until light and foamy. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Step 4
Drain the juice from the frozen cherries and cut each berry into small pieces. Chopping is essential, because whole berries will sink to the bottom of the pie and the base will stay underbaked. Mix gently.
