Step-by-step directions for Cherry Dama Gluten Free cake with sour cherries
** THE CAKE **
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C or 340°F.
2. Line a rectangular baking tray with baking paper. Mine is 30/40 cm (12/16 inches).
3. In a bowl, mix the coconut with the poppy seeds and ground hazelnuts.
4. Put the egg whites with the salt powder in a bowl and beat them until they leave light shapes on the surface. We gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until we get a firm, glossy meringue and the sugar is completely melted.
5. Add the egg yolks and mix gently with a spatula.

6. Add the dry ingredients in 3 three stages and incorporate them with light movements from the bottom up. Be very careful not to mix too much, otherwise you will remove the air incorporated in the egg whites and the top will not be fluffy.
7. Pour the mixture into the lined pan and put in the oven for 18-20 minutes.
When done, let the cake temper in the pan it was baked in, then remove it to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
** THE SOUR CHERRY LAYER **
1. Put the sour cherries with the sugar in a saucepan on a low heat and leave it like that until the cherries thaw and start to bubble. If you use fresh cherries, do the same until they start to bubble.

** THE VANILLA CREAM **

2. Put the rest of the milk with the sugar, vanilla extract in a saucepan to boil.
