Method
Blend the eggs and egg yolks with the milk,cream and sugar.Pour into the top of the double saucepan, or into a heat proof bowl standing over a pan of water.Add the vanilla pod (bean).Allow the water to simmer gently. and stir until the custard coats the back of the wooden spoon.Remove the vanilla pod.
Meanwhile split the sponge cakes and sandwich together with the jam.Put into a glass serving dish.and soak with the sherry.Add the flaked almonds and half the ratafias.Pour the warm custard over the sponge cakes.Place a plate over the bowl to prevent the formation of a skin as a custard cools.
Whip the cream until it just holds its shape; do not over whip.Spread or pipe over the custard base, completely covering this.Decorate with the remaining ratafias,the maraschino or or glace (candied) cherries , with leaves of angelica and the blanched almonds.Chill well before serving.
