- Now include sugar and vanilla extract, and again mix with the hand blender for a couple of minutes at medium speed.
- Include one third of the flour blend in the wet ingredients alongside half cup of milk. Cut and overlap to shape a lump free batter. Include remaining flour and milk. Make sure that the batter is smooth and there are no lumps of flour remaining.
- Pour the batter in the prepared baking container. Bake for around 36 to 40 minutes in the center rack of the oven. Following 30 minutes, cover the container with an aluminum foil if the top of the cake is browning quickly. From this point, insert a toothpick in the centre of the cake to check that it is baked or not.

- Cover this layer with the upper portion of the cake like a sandwich. Cover the upper half too with cherry compote, cream, and sliced fruits.
