Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 12

Necessary Ingredients

For the Base:
- 10 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- ½ packet of baking powder
- 5 tablespoons of oil
- Vanilla extract

For Cream 1:
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding
- 500 ml of milk
- 100 g of white chocolate

For Cream 2:
- 300 g of raspberries (or strawberries)
- 3-4 tablespoons of sugar
- 100 ml of water
- 3 sheets of gelatin

For Cream 3:
- 300 ml of whipped cream
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- Vanilla extract

Step by Step: Preparing the Cake

Step 1: Preparing the Base

1. Separating the Eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy base. Make sure the bowl you use to beat the egg whites is perfectly clean, with no traces of fat.

2. Beating the Egg Whites: Use a mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes glossy and firm peaks form.

3. Adding the Yolks: Gradually incorporate the yolks, oil, and vanilla extract. Gently fold with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

4. Incorporating the Flour: Sift the flour together with the baking powder and fold it into the egg mixture. Mix gently from the bottom up to achieve a homogeneous batter.

5. Baking the Base: Pour the batter into a 35x25 cm baking pan (or a smaller pan if you prefer a thicker base) lined with parchment paper. Bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes or until the base passes the toothpick test (insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, it's done).

Step 2: Preparing Cream 1

1. Preparing the Pudding: In a saucepan, bring 500 ml of milk to a boil. When the milk starts boiling, add the vanilla pudding and mix well according to the package instructions. Once the pudding thickens, remove it from the heat.

2. Adding the Chocolate: While the pudding is still warm, add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate completely melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Allow it to cool.

Step 3: Preparing Cream 2

1. Boiling the Fruits: In a saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Once the sugar dissolves, add the raspberries or strawberries. Let it boil for a few minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool.

2. Gelatin: Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Once softened, add them to the warm fruit mixture and stir well to dissolve completely.

Step 4: Preparing Cream 3

1. Whipping the Cream: In a bowl, whip the cream together with the sugar and vanilla extract until it becomes firm. Be careful not to overwhip, or it will turn into butter.

Step 5: Assembling the Cake

1. Layer of Cream 1: On the cooled base, spread the white chocolate pudding evenly.

2. Layer of Cream 2: Next, add the raspberry or strawberry mixture, distributing it evenly.

3. Layer of Cream 3: Finally, add the whipped cream on top. You can use a spatula or a piping bag to create decorative shapes.

4. Decoration: You can decorate the cake with fresh fruits, grated chocolate, or almond flakes for an attractive look.

5. Cooling: Allow the cake to chill in the refrigerator for a few hours (ideally overnight) to set and meld the flavors.

Practical Tips and Variations

- Fruit Ingredients: If you don't have raspberries or strawberries on hand, you can experiment with other berries like blackberries or blueberries. The taste will be just as delicious!

- Gelatin: Make sure the gelatin is well dissolved in the fruit mixture to avoid bubbles or lumps.

- Quick Dessert: This cake is an excellent choice when you need a quick dessert for a party or an impromptu gathering.

- Serving: Serve the cake with a fruit sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of flavor.
