My daughter’s favourite cake that I always make for her birthday. This is a slightly changed version since it is made in portions and not in a pie.

Ingredients

• 1 rectangular cake sponge
• 350 g preserved cherries, I used the ones I have frozen in syrup
• 2 large sheets of gelatin
• 400 g whipped cream (milk cream) with 3 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 tablespoons shavings of dark chocolate
• mint leaves, optional

Steps  

• Chop the gelatin leaves and dip in cold water to soften. Drain and put in a bowl, pour 2 or 3 tablespoons of water and dissolve.
• Strain the gelatin when it is cold and mix carefully with the whipped cream.
• Strain the cherries and store the syrup for use in any other recipe such as salads or sauces.
• Cut the cake into rectangles of 7 cm by 14 cm and open them in half with great care.
• Spread one of the sides of each sponge cake with the cream and smooth with a pastry spatula.
• Distribute cherries on each piece of cake with a pastry pin.
• Cover with more cream.
• Cover with another rectangle of sponge and go over the edges so that the cream is even.
• Cover the surface with cream, I do it with a spoon because I like it to be a little rustic, but it can be done with the manga. Garnish with cherries and sprinkle with grated chocolate and mint sprigs.
