 - Divide horizontally into two parts.
 - Sprinkle a little fruit syrup over the cake parts. Repeat after 10 minutes. Be sure that the cake is moist. Add rum or sherry to the syrup, if desired, before soaking.
 - Spread the jam evenly over one part of the cake.
 - Beat the cream with the sugar until thick and fluffy. It there is any difficulty, beat it over ice.

 - Decorate with the cherries and pistachio nuts.
