Put the other half of the cream on top of the cake, spread the candied fruits and toasted peanuts over the surface of the cream. Without removing the mold, place the dish with the cake in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, when the cake has cooled a little, carefully remove the split form from it and serve the dessert for tea.
