There are different ideas about what a cherry pie is. According to Duden , it means a "cake topped with cherries [and covered with icing]". The food lexicon of Dr. Oetker describes cherry cake as follows: "a puff pastry pocket filled with cherries ". Giacomo Perrini described a cherry cake in the "Schweizerzuckerbäcker" (Swiss Sugar Baker) as a separate recipe in contrast to the general recipe for fruit tarts as a puff pastry cake, which is topped with pitted sour cherries and baked with a topping of sugar, sour cream and eggs.
