Ingredients

•  4 eggs
• 150 g  of sugar
• 150 g of flour
• a little salt
• Lemon zest or vanilla extract

• 500 g  whipping cream
• 250 g of Mascarpone

• 100 g of cherry
• 1/2 Lemon juice
• 2-3 tbsp of sugar
• vanilla extract

Directions

Sponge Cake

1. We will prepare the sponge cake first. You can find the recipe for sponge cake here.
2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
3. In a deep glass bowl, add the eggs at room temperature, a little salt, sugar. Beat all for about 10 minutes until they significantly increase the volume.
4. Add the vanilla flavor or lemon zest and sifted flour, mixing lightly from the bottom up until it becomes a homogeneous dough without grains.
5. We throw the sponge cake dough in the baking pan lined with baking paper. Place it in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
6. Remove the sponge cake and let it cool by passing it from the pan to a plate.
7. When the sponge cake cools, cut it into equal parts. Cut as desired into two, three, or four pieces. Of course, the fewer parts, the thicker the sponge part will be. It depends on your tastes.

Forest fruits

1. Meanwhile, we will place the forest fruit and cleaned cherries from the kernels in a saucepan covered with lemon juice and sugar. It is good to let them marinate for 20-30 minutes to release the liquid before cooking.
2. Let them boil for a few minutes until we see that the fruits released quite a bit of juice.
3. Drain them with a colander and keep the fruits aside.
4. We will dilute the liquid by adding up to a glass of water as we will use it to soften the sponge cake. Use a part of the juice to the cream that we will prepare for taste, aroma, and color.

Filling cake cream

1. In a bowl, beat the whipping cream until it makes a firm cream.
2. Separately, beat the Mascarpone cream by adding pieces of forest fruit juice to taste the cream and give a hint of forest fruits.
3. We will also add the beaten cream. You can add juice again if you want.

Assembling the Cake

1. On a plate, place the first layer of sponge cake and soften it with berries juice. We add cream, open it uniformly and toss some of the forest fruits.
2. We repeat this procedure for how many parts we have divided the sponge cake, calculating that we should use the forest fruits in the inner of the cake, as we keep some fresh and raw for decoration.
3. After assembly, all sponge cake layers continue by spreading the cake cream covering the cake well on the outside.
4. Throw the rest of the cream in a pastry bag and decorate the cake as you like.
5. If you want more color in your decor, you can divide the cream into pieces and add a dot from the selected colorant. Mix it well, we throw the cream in the bag and decorate our cake.
6. Place the cake in the fridge to keep it fresh before serving.
7. Garnish with fresh fruit, cut into slices, and serve it as desired.
