5) Use a large baking pan for a hot water bath, no preheated oven 150°C and bake for 45 minutes.

6) Once cooked, leave to cool at least 15 minutes, and remove from the oven.

7) Whip the (C) double cream, whisk for about 2 minutes after adding sugar and beat until it is just thick enough to hold its shape and add vanilla extract for a little extra flavor. Refrigerate until ready to use.

8) Once the cake is cool, remove the lining. Cut the cake in half.

9) Use a sharp knife to cut the edges after apply in a single layer over cream and place second cake layer. Spread remaining whipped cream on cake top and decorate with fresh fruits. Return cake to the refrigerator until cream on cake is set, about 15 minutes.

10) Transfer the cake to a plate for serving. Any leftover cake can be covered and kept in the fridge for 2 days.

Helpful Tips:
1) Over whisked the cream, and have it looking smooth once again, add a few tablespoon of fresh milk or cream to the grainy whipped cream and simply whisk it. 
2) Chill the bowl and whisk in the freezer before whisk the egg whites and making whipped cream.
3) Whipping cream doesn’t whip up as thickly as double cream.
4) It's fine to use cold eggs for baking, or you still can use room temperature eggs. The temperature of eggs will affects the baking time, and cold eggs will take longer to bake.
5) Chill the bowl and whisk in the freezer before whisk the egg whites and making whipped cream.
6) Cutting off the crusty edge from the sides.
7) Do not bake the cake quickly at a high temperature and don't remove hot cake out of a baking pan. otherwise the cake could crack on top.
8) Fold the batter into a egg whites. Cut the egg whites into the mixture. Don't stir and never use an electric mixer for this.
9) Beating egg whites is a very important process, It will help your cakes rise with perfectly.
10) Cover with foil after a few minutes if the cake of top starts to get brown and continue rising nicely with a golden top.
11) Please understand that everyone's oven work differently.
You should also check the temperature of your oven. if not, your cake won't rise well.
12) You must refrigerate a cream cake while you spreads a layer of cream, and it doesn't melt or weep as quickly.
