Cook safely

  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Take a thick loaf of sponge cake and scoop out the center, leaving the sides and bottom an inch in thickness;
  2. dip some stale macaroons in orange juice and with them line the bottom of the cavity, spreading over them a thick layer of peach jam.
  3. Take a scant quarter of a box of gelatine, soak in one quarter of a cup of cold water and set over hot water until dissolved;
  4. sweeten one pint of thick cream with four tablespoons of pulverized sugar, add one teaspoon of vanilla and the dissolved gelatine and whip to a solid froth;
  5. pour this into the cake mold and garnish with a border of candied cherries.
