  4. Parch till the vamazelli has become fragrant and browned, gather parched strands in the middle of the pot and pour over boiling water. Cover pot allowing noodles to absorb water and soften.
  5. After 3 minutes, remove the cover and gradually pour over 1/3 of the warm milks, add condensed milk and brown sugar. Gentle stir to combine. Cover and allow vamazelli to absorb the milk, continue pouring over milk, till all is complete. Gentle stirs, as to ensure the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pot.

  7. Once all the liquids have absorbed into the vamazelli and mixture become thick, off the heat and lightly grease a 9x13 serving dish. Decant vamzelli into a buttered dish, spread evenly and adorn with cherries. Allow cake to set for 15 minutes before cutting.
