Instructions

Making the Mascarpone Cheese Cream

Place the cream cheese and butter in a bowl and beat with a hand mixer until creamy. Add the mascarpone and continue beating. Add the powdered sugar and keep beating until smooth. Whip the cream to medium-stiff peaks (about 80% whipped).

Making the Custard Cream Cheese

Fold the whipped cream from sub-step 4 into the mixture from sub-step 3 using a rubber spatula (reserve 2 tbsp for decoration). Add the granulated sugar to the beaten egg yolks and whisk gently with a mixer until the mixture turns pale white. Sift in the cake flour and continue mixing. Pour the milk into a heatproof container, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds.

Making the Custard Cream Cheese (continued)

Combine the mixture from sub-step 7 with the hot milk, cover with plastic wrap, microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds, stir well, microwave again for 1 minute 30 seconds, then stir in the cream cheese until melted.

Making the Cherry Brandy Syrup

Place the granulated sugar and water together in a heatproof container, cover with plastic wrap, microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, let cool slightly, then stir in the cherry brandy.

Assembling in the Container

Place a slice of sponge cake at the bottom of the container. Spread half of each of the syrup from sub-step 9, the jam, and the cream from sub-step 8 in that order over the sponge cake. Add half of the diced fruit and half of the cream from sub-step 5. Repeat sub-steps 10-11 once more.

Decoration

Spread the custard cream cheese evenly over the finished cake and smooth the surface. Alternately drizzle 2 tbsp of the reserved cheese cream and the jam across the top in decorative stripes, sprinkle with diced fruit for garnish, and refrigerate until chilled.
