Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Our ingredients:

For the base:
- 4 eggs (make sure they are at room temperature for a better texture)
- ½ cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cold water
- 5-6 tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 vanilla essence

For the cream:
- 500 ml of milk
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 2 sachets of vanilla sugar
- 2 sachets of ness (instant coffee)
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (for a touch of freshness)
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 cup of pitted sour cherries (you can use frozen cherries, but make sure to thaw and drain them well)
- Colorful candies for decoration

Step by step for a perfect result:

1. Preparing the base:
- Start by separating the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar in a large bowl using a mixer. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes light in color.
- Add the cold water and vanilla essence, mixing well.
- Sift the flour and baking powder, then gently fold them into the egg yolk mixture.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks (when you turn the bowl upside down, the egg whites should not fall out). Carefully fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture using a spatula and gentle movements to keep the air in the egg whites.

2. Baking the base:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a round baking pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Pour the mixture into the pan and level the surface. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the base is golden brown and passes the toothpick test (if the toothpick comes out clean, the base is ready).
- Once removed from the oven, let it cool completely on a rack.

3. Preparing the ness cream:
- In a bowl, mix the sugar with the flour and a few tablespoons of milk, ensuring there are no lumps. This is an essential technique for achieving a smooth cream.
- Pour the mixture over the remaining milk in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens like a pudding. This step is crucial to avoid lumps.
- Once the cream has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly, covering it with plastic wrap to prevent a crust from forming.
- When the cream is warm, add the butter and mix well until fully incorporated. Then, add the lemon juice and ness, continuing to mix vigorously until smooth.

4. Assembling the dessert:
- Cut the base into two equal parts. Place the first layer of the base on a platter.
- Spread 2-3 tablespoons of cream over the surface of the base, then evenly distribute the sour cherries over the cream. This combination of flavors will add a tart taste, perfectly contrasting with the sweetness of the cream.
- Add another layer of cream (reserve some for decoration) and cover with the second layer of the base.
- Use the remaining cream to completely cover the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with colorful candies for a festive and delicious look.

5. Cooling and serving:
- Place the dessert in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, allowing the flavors to blend perfectly.
- Serve with a smile and enjoy the reactions of your loved ones!

Useful tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before use, as this helps achieve a more uniform texture.
- If you want to add a touch of creativity, you can replace the sour cherries with other seasonal fruits, such as cherries or peaches.
- Instead of ness, you can use cocoa to achieve a chocolate cream.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of sugar? Yes, brown sugar can provide a deeper flavor.
- How can I make the dessert less sweet? You can reduce the amount of sugar in the cream and base.
- Can I freeze this dessert? It is recommended not to freeze it, as the cream may alter in texture.
