Preparation Time:
- Preparation time: 30 minutes
- Baking time: 0 minutes (the base is store-bought)
- Total time: 30 minutes
- Servings: 10
Ingredients:
- 1 store-bought cake base (preferably sponge)
- 1 packet of Dr. Oetker vanilla pudding mix
- 1 packet of gelatin
- 1 fruit yogurt (choose one with peach or strawberry flavor for a more intense taste)
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 bananas
- 1 pear
- 5 kiwis
- 1 cup of sugar (approximately 200g)
- 1 cup of compote juice (or fruit juice)
- 1 packet of cappuccino (optional, but recommended for a more complex flavor)
Preparing the Cake:
1. Preparing the base:
Start by placing the cake base on a platter or cake stand. This will be the foundation of your dessert, so make sure it is flat and stable.
2. Sprinkling the base:
Use the compote juice to evenly sprinkle the base. This step will add moisture and flavor, making it softer and more delicious. You can use a pastry brush to distribute the juice evenly.
3. Preparing the cream:
In a bowl, add the contents of the pudding mix, milk, and two tablespoons of sugar. Beat the mixture with a mixer on medium speed until it thickens. I recommend using an electric mixer to achieve the perfect consistency.
4. Dividing the cream:
Divide the cream obtained into two halves. In the first half, incorporate the fruit yogurt. In the second half, add the cappuccino packet. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition.
5. Assembling the cake:
- Spread half of the yogurt cream on the first layer of the base.
- Slice the bananas thinly and arrange them evenly over the cream.
- Place the second cake base on top, then pour the cappuccino mixture.
- Slice the pear and arrange it beautifully on top of the cream.
6. Finalizing the cake:
- Place the last cake base on top of the cappuccino mixture.
- Spread the remaining yogurt cream on this last layer.
- Slice the kiwi into rounds and arrange them decoratively on top of the cake.
7. Preparing the gelatin:
In a small bowl, combine the contents of the gelatin packet with the compote juice and three tablespoons of sugar. Let the mixture swell according to the instructions on the package. Once it has swelled, gently heat it but do not boil, and pour it over the kiwi and other fruits on the cake. This will create a shiny and delicious layer.
8. Cooling the cake:
Let the cake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to set.
Serving:
The fruit yogurt cake is delicious served cold. You can decorate it with fresh mint leaves or coconut flakes for an elegant appearance. It pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a refreshing fruit drink.
Tips and Tricks:
- Use a quality cake base, as it will influence the texture and taste of the dessert.
- If you want a healthier option, you can replace the sugar with natural sweeteners, such as honey or agave syrup.
- For an even more intense flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to the yogurt cream.
- Experiment with different types of seasonal fruits to create a personalized cake.
Nutritional Benefits:
Fruit yogurt provides a source of probiotics, beneficial for digestion, and fresh fruits are an excellent source of vitamins and antioxidants. The cake is a lighter choice compared to other calorie-rich desserts, with a moderate calorie content per serving.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I use frozen fruits? Yes, but make sure to let them thaw completely and remove excess water before using them.
