bake it in a cake tin in a hot oven until it is a good colour, then
take
it out and cut it into four equal circular pieces.

some well-whipped
cream and flavour it with Maraschino, put a thick layer of this on one
of the rounds of pastry, then cover it with: the next round, on
which
also put a layer of cream, and so on until you come to the last round,
which forms the top of the cake.
Then
split some almonds and
colour them in the oven, cover the top of the cake with icing sugar
flavoured
with orange, and decorate the top with the almonds and preserved
cherries.
