For the filling, soak the gelatin in cold water. Then whip the well precooled whipped cream until stiff. Mix the heated and dissolved gelatine with the cranberries. Set aside one third of the whipped cream. Stir the remaining 2/3 through with the cranberry-gelatine mixture and allow to set briefly in the refrigerator.

Then top the cake with the top nut layer and then spread all around with the whipped cream set aside.
