- Cut a circle of baking paper with the size of the cake shape to bake the marshmallows and then roll the oily dough onto a thin crust. Transfer it together with the paper into the mold, fork with a fork and bake in a preheated 170 * oven.
- For biscuit blatt, blow eggs very well with hot water. Pour the sugar and continue to beat until you get a fluffy thick egg cream. Squeeze together all the other ingredients and add them to the egg mixture. Mix the dough in the same cake form in which you have baked the oil pad

- Boil the cherries with water and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a spoon and to the juice pour the alcohol, vanilla and starch dissolved in a little water. If the juice is less than 1 h, add some more water. Once the liquid has thickened, put the cherries in it and boil again
- from the fire and let the fruits cool well.
- Place the oiled crust in a flat-topped dish. Straighten it gently with the paper as it is very brittle and brittle. Carefully remove the paper. On the oil blaze, put 1/2 of the cherries together with the thickened juice. Throw them uniformly 1/3 of the sugar-crushed (to taste) and vanilla on snow cream. Put one half of the biscuit bay on it and syrup with half of the remaining alcohol diluted with a little water. Load the cloves and re-distribute half of the rest of the cream. Put the other bake, syrup with alcohol and spread the cake with cream on top and side.
