Assembling Cake
1. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks. Set aside.2. Mix
together in a mixing bowl the cream cheese, baker's cheese,
egg yolks, and granulated sugar until smooth. Then add the
sour cream and mix until smooth.
3. Gently add the whipped mixture to the cheese mixture
being careful not to over whip.
4. Dissolve the gelatin in the water over a double boiler
until the mixture is clear. Be careful not to whip the
gelatin so it does not get air bubbles in it.
5. Add the gelatin mixture into the cheese mixture and fold
quickly. When adding the gelatin mixture to the cheese
mixture set the mixer on medium speed, and add it from the
edge of the bowl, being careful not to get the gelatin on
the whip or the side of the bowl so as to prevent lumping.
6. Using a springform pan, place one of the vanilla sponge
cakes smooth side down. Immediately pour the cheese mixture
on the cake, and smooth out surface. Then place the other
cake on top with the smooth side out. Let set overnight.
7. Remove the cake from the springform pan. Sprinkle the top
of the cake with powdered sugar. This cake can be served
with any of your favorite fresh fruit sauce(s).
