Of the eight eggs, two cups sugar, two cups of flour to bake a cake. I will not describe in detail this process, as I have as a result the cake did not rise. Had to bake a second. (But the dough still turned out delicious =)). I had done it the night before. And left the cakes to cool until morning.

Also in the evening made the mascarpone cheese, the recipe of which I want to say a huge thank you to Natalia (xsenia). Her recipe is here: http://www.povarenok .ru/recipes/show/187 75/ I never tried this mascarpone, but what I did in her recipe, had a very delicate flavor. So, in short: I heated (but not boiling) 1 liter of cream. Added a little lemon juice and warmed it on low heat for 10 minutes. Then wrapped in a linen cloth and left to otvisetsya until morning.

On the morning of the mid-lower crust was removed the flesh. Flesh throw is not, it is still useful. The idea was borrowed from Julie (Yuli) http://www.povarenok .ru/recipes/show/212 54/ what she is, too, thank you. By the way, this recipe is also very detail described the process of making biscuit.

Cooked brandy syrup: water and half a Cup of sugar brought to a boil, cooled to 36-37°C and poured brandy. Soaked cakes and brandy syrup. (A little syrup left for the cream) Then made the cream: 2 protein whipped with sugar added mascarpone and a little brandy syrup. Everything is carefully moved and added pieces of dough.

The fruit was cut into small pieces. I, based on the preferences of his family, took the Apple, canned apricots and canned cherries, pitted.

A portion of the cream was poured on the lower layer, recessed fruit in the cream, top hid them more cream. (Part of the cream left to decorate the cake top)

The top was covered with a second layer.

Spread top of cake with remaining frosting, decorated with halved grapes. Then I wanted to decorate the cake custard recipe the boy lovegermany (sorry, don't know the name) http://www.povarenok .ru/recipes/show/156 34/. But I for some reason the cream remained too runny (somewhere messed up, but don't know). And then I made a terrible mistake: I just whipped protein, put cherry syrup and tried to put it on the cake. Address to the same beginners in cooking cakes as I do: NEVER DO that. As a result, I went overboard with the decoration, the protein soon, the donkey, and the appearance of the cake was ruined.

Nonetheless, the cake turned out very tasty and tender. So, I beg you not to judge strictly, after all this is my first experience in cooking cakes. Personally, I can consider it successful. The cake was eaten in 2 days, which is very unusual for our family, where everyone is afraid to spoil the figure.
