Prep time: 60 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 60 min
Yield: 20
Ingredients: 5 eggs; 150 g granulated sugar; 100 ml water; 100 ml oil; 200 g semi-coarse flour; 1 packet of baking powder; 500 ml milk; 1 packet vanilla pudding powder; 3 tablespoons granulated sugar; 200 g butter; 1 packet vanilla sugar; 2 cans of canned mandarins (you can also use peaches, pineapple, kiwi or fresh strawberries); 1 packet cake jelly (clear or yellow depending on the type of fruit); 250–300 ml compote juice (or water + sugar); optionally a drop of lemon juice for freshness

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the sponge base: Separate the yolks and the whites. Beat the egg whites into stiff peaks. Beat the yolks with the sugar until frothy and gradually add the water and oil. Add the flour mixed with the baking powder and finally gently fold in the egg whites. Pour the batter onto a greased and floured baking sheet (or one lined with baking paper) and bake at 180 °C for about 20–25 minutes. Let cool.
Preparation of the vanilla cream: Make a classic pudding from the milk, sugar and pudding powder and let it cool completely. Beat the butter with the vanilla sugar and add the cooled pudding in parts. You will get a smooth, creamy base which you spread evenly over the cooled base.
Adding the fruit: Let the canned fruit drain and keep the syrup for the jelly. Arrange the fruit evenly over the layer of cream.
Preparing the jelly: Prepare the cake jelly according to the instructions on the package – ideally using the compote juice for a fuller flavor. Let it cool for a few minutes and then slowly pour it over the surface of the cake with fruit. Put it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, so the jelly sets well.
