Add vanilla and white sugar, constantly stirring, and cook the cream until it thickens. Add small pieces of butter to the still hot cream, quickly stirring until the butter melts.

5. For the final layer, prepare a white cream glaze. Whip the cream with powdered sugar. If the cream is high-fat, it will quickly increase in volume. Whip until stiff peaks form. Spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake, decorate with fruits, and refrigerate. Serve chilled after 6-8 hours. Ready!
