Well,
:?
let's put it this way, it was experimental and it did not turn out as I thought. :P
Since the cake is (was destined to be, more later) topped with a cherry jelly cover, i thought naming it "Red hot ridin' hood cake", after the old Tex Avery Cartoon:

The ingredients were the usual bag of goodies, plus cherries and a jelly icing:
First, I made a dough from flour, margarine, eggs, sugar and baking powder:
Half of the dough was spread in a spring form, the other half was enriched with two tablespoons of Nutella and added on top:
Now drain the cherries and add them on top (keep ze juice):
Off in the oven with it (30 minutes at 180 degrees celsius):
First OOPSy: dough rose too much:(
Let it cool down for 60-90 minutes minimum.
As the dough got too high, I had to make a second ring from baking paper around the cake to keep the toppings in place:
prepare the topping from curd, whipped cream and vanilla sugar, then spread it on the cake and let it chill for 1-2 hours:
When the cake is chilled, prepare the jelly glaze:
OOOPSy No.2: phonecalls while making the jelly should be avoided, as it cools down really fast and can't be spread evenly :(
Well, one could call it the "Mikhail Gorbatchev of jelly toppings" ;)
Let it rest chilled over night.
Next morning (aka today):
But the cake is really tasty if you don't mind the looks:
Enjoy!
