Ingredients:

For the base:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1 ½ cups of flour
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 5 tablespoons of oil
- 5 tablespoons of water
- A pinch of salt

For the diplomat cream:
- 4 eggs
- 150-200 g of sugar (to taste)
- 500 ml of whipped cream
- 1 packet of gelatin

For decoration:
- Fresh fruits (kiwi, mandarins, grapes, strawberries, etc.)
- Clear jelly cake mix from Dr. Oetker

Step by step:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth and well-incorporated texture.

2. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 180°C (375°F) and grease a 25x35 cm baking tray with butter or oil, then line it with parchment paper.

3. Prepare the base: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy and soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until you achieve a glossy meringue.

4. Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix the yolks with the oil and water until well combined. Gradually fold in the flour and cocoa powder, mixing gently.

5. Combine the two mixtures: Carefully fold the meringue into the yolk mixture using a spatula, in circular motions to retain the air in the egg whites.

6. Bake the base: Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the base cool completely.

7. Prepare the diplomat cream: In a saucepan, whisk the eggs with the sugar over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool. Meanwhile, rehydrate the gelatin according to the package instructions and add it to the cooled cream.

8. Whip the cream until firm. Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture, mixing lightly.

9. Assemble the cake: Cut the cooled base in half. Place the first half on a serving platter, cover with the diplomat cream, and add the sliced fruits. Top with the other half of the base.

10. Decoration: Prepare the jelly cake according to the package instructions and pour it over the cake. Decorate with fresh fruits on top.

11. Refrigerate the cake for a few hours or ideally overnight to set.

Serving: Cut the cake into squares and enjoy it with a fragrant tea or coffee. This Diplomat Cake with fruits is perfect for impressing guests at any party or special event!

Useful tips:
- Experiment with different combinations of fruits to give a personal touch to the cake. You can use seasonal fruits or even dried fruits for a unique variant.
- Make sure the base is completely cool before adding the cream; otherwise, it may melt and not have the desired appearance.

Enjoy every bite of this delicious cake and happy cooking!
