Hard sauce
- 75 g brown sugar

- 550 g cream cheese
Cooking
Froth eggs with brown sugar. Add syrup and mix the ingredients. Then pour melted dairy butter, milk and cream. Stir everything thoroughly.
Combine flour, grated orange peel, soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and ginger. Mix all the prepared ingredients carefully and pour 1/3 of the dough in a baking sheet. Bake the cake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes. You should cook 3 crusts.
Hard sauce
Whip the 550 g of cream-cheese. Add cream (approximately 150-250 ml) bit by bit. The sauce should increase in size but it shouldn’t become too fluid. Next add brown sugar. Stir the mass.
Grease each baked crust with the prepared hard sauce and then place the pie shells one above another.
Decorate the cake with a mandarin and grapes topped with powdered sugar. You may also put some cinnamon sticks above.
