Make a fatless sponge by whipping grain sugar, eggs and
flour. Cut the sponge cake into half, sandwich with the jam and cut into cubes.
Peel the fruits and dice. Arrange the sponge cake cubes in an oval dish and
soak in the thin sugar syrup and brandy. Arrange all the fruits in layers over
the cake. Whip cream and sugar. Add flavouring and pile on top. Decorate with
cherries on top.
N. B. Stewed
dried apricot can be added to the fruits. Also a few pieces of chopped nuts.
Egg whites stiffly beaten with sugar can be used to decorate instead of whipped
cream. A layer of fruit jelly may be poured over custard for variation.
