Date: 2024-06-27 09:19 pm (UTC)This seems to be the most similar to the one pictured, although it's a bit hard to follow. Hindi.
The following makes a cake and puts the lychee in it, but doesn't do the whipped cream. The rose water is an older flavor, and I'm not sure what "Jamaican Essence" is.

I don't know where to buy one, but I'd go get a sponge cake, lychees, maybe rose water, & mascarpone cheese if you want it and proceed from there. Cut the cake into two or more layers, drain the lychee syrup and spread it over the cake with the rose water if you're using it. Add sweetened whipped cream and lychees between layers and coat the cake with whipped cream with some lychees on top. (The NYTimes recipe adds mascarpone cheese to the whipped cream.) The NYTimes also adds lemon zest.
I'll email you the NYTimes recipe. Don't tell anybody! (You can get to their recipes on the phone, but it's paywalled via a browser.)
