Nectarine Bavarian

Round bavarian with a mound of whipped cream in the middle and maraschino cherries on top

I made this for my Mom’s birthday. My nephew kept pointing out that it’s not really cake, it’s more like a big pile of whipped cream, which is not far from the case. It’s mostly bavarian cream, flavored with chambord, with little bits of genoise and nectarines soaked in chambord embedded in it. The center is a big mound of whipped cream. I’m delighted by how much it looks like something you would see in a magazine in the 1960s.
