The Diplomat Cake is a popular choice among dessert lovers, with deep roots in culinary tradition. It is an elegant dessert, often served on special occasions due to its appealing appearance and creamy texture.

Ingredients
*For the charlotte:*
- 1 box of Diplomat Cake from Dr. Oetker
- 200 ml pineapple compote juice
- 1 can of pineapple (cut into small pieces)
- 2 eggs
- 1 liter of cold milk

*For the base:*
- 3 eggs
- 3-4 tablespoons of sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons of flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- Oil (for greasing)
- Flour (for dusting)

Preparing the Charlotte
1. Preparing the Pineapple
If using canned pineapple, cut it into small pieces and let it drain well. This will add a fresh flavor to your dessert.

2. Soaking the Charlotte
In a deep bowl, mix the charlotte powder with 200 ml of compote juice. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. This step is essential to allow the charlotte to develop its flavor.

3. Beating the Eggs
Beat the 2 eggs in another bowl and add them to the charlotte mixture. This will enrich the composition, giving it a richer texture.

4. Boiling in a Bain-Marie
Place the bowl in a bain-marie (another bowl with hot water) and boil the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. It is important not to let the mixture stick to the bottom of the bowl.

5. Cooling the Charlotte
Once the charlotte begins to thicken, remove the bowl from heat and let it cool. Meanwhile, whip 1 liter of cold milk with the whipped cream powder. Reserve about 300 g of whipped cream for decoration.

6. Incorporating the Whipped Cream
Once the charlotte has cooled, gently fold in the whipped cream, stirring lightly to avoid losing air in the mixture. If the charlotte has set too firmly, you can gently warm it to return to the desired consistency.

7. Adding the Pineapple
Add the pineapple pieces to the charlotte and mix gently. This step will add a note of freshness and texture to your dessert.

Preparing the Base
1. Separating the Eggs
Separate the 3 eggs. In a bowl, combine the yolks with 3 tablespoons of sugar and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

2. Beating the Egg Whites
Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This step is crucial for obtaining a fluffy base.

3. Combining the Ingredients
In the yolk mixture, add the beaten egg whites, 3-4 tablespoons of flour, and the baking powder. Use the back of a spoon to gently fold in, so as not to compromise the aeration of the egg whites.

4. Baking the Base
Grease a baking tray with oil and dust it with flour. Pour the mixture into the tray and bake in the oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes or until the base is golden and passes the toothpick test.

5. Cooling the Base
Once the base is baked, let it cool completely.

Assembling the Cake
1. Mounting the Composition
After the base has cooled, carefully pour the charlotte over the base, leveling the surface well.

2. Decorating the Cake
Using the reserved whipped cream, decorate the cake with peaks of cream and sprinkle some pineapple pieces for an attractive appearance.

3. Final Cooling
Let the cake sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours. This step will help set the charlotte and blend the flavors.

Serving Suggestions
The Diplomat Cake with Pineapple pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a red fruit sauce to add a contrast of flavors. You can also serve it alongside a fruit tea or a refreshing lemonade to complete the tasting experience.

Nutritional Benefits
This cake is a good source of protein due to the eggs and milk. Pineapple adds fiber and vitamins, especially vitamin C, contributing to a balanced diet.
