Method

Preheat oven to 200oC.  : 1 : Beat the eggs with the vanilla essence and Chelsea Caster Sugar; add the flour and butter, mixing lightly until well blended.
2 : Pour the mixture into a 20cm round buttered and floured cake tin.
3 : Cook in an oven preheated to 200oC for about 30 minutes or until mixture is firm and light golden colour.
4 : Allow to cool and then slice horizontally into two equal discs. Trim about 2cm from around the edge of the top disc.
5 : For the filling: beat the egg yolks with the Chelsea White Sugar, and while still beating add the flour, warm milk and grated lemon rind. Cook over moderate heat, stirring continuously until the mixture is quite thick.
6 : Sprinkle the two discs with a little Kirsch.
7 : Spread the surface of the larger disc with a layer of the jam and then cover with the filling. Dot the filling with the cherries, reserving a few for decoration.
8 : Cover with the smaller disc and decorate the top with the reserved cherries.
