- Now put a spoonful of whipped cream and spread it evenly on the bread slice
- Further put some cherries on it and cover it with another slice of bread and repeat the same process using the rest of the bread slices.

Recipe notes
- Always use fresh bread for this instant cake recipe. You can use sweet or brown bread too.
- Fresh cream won’t work, we need full fat whipping cream.
- Before whipping the cream make sure the cream and the bowl is chilled. (Keep the bowl and the blades of the hand beater in the refrigerator for 30 minutes)
- Whip the cream till it forms stiff peaks, don’t over whip.
- If the whipped cream becomes runny then put it in the freezer for sometime and whip it once again till it firms up.
- Always brush your cake with cherry syrup or sugar syrup before frosting, this will keep your cake moist.
- Can use fresh or canned cherries too.
