Necessary ingredients

*For the base:*
- 8 fresh eggs
- 8 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons of flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- Rum essence (about 1 teaspoon)

*For the cream:*
- 200 g Rama Maestro margarine (or quality margarine)
- 150 g powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of nes (instant coffee)

*For decoration:*
- A medium carton of liquid cream (about 200-250 ml)
- 2 kiwis (or your favorite seasonal fruits)
- A handful of cherries from a can (or from the freezer)
- Mandarins (optional, for a fresh taste)

Preparing the bases

1. Separating the eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It is essential that the bowls you work with are completely clean and dry to achieve a perfect foam.

2. Beating the egg whites: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until they form a firm foam. This step is crucial to ensure a fluffy texture for the cake.

3. Creating the base mixture: In another bowl, cream the egg yolks with the sugar until they turn a light color. Add the rum essence and mix well. Sift the flour together with the baking powder and gradually incorporate them into the yolk mixture.

4. Incorporating the egg whites: Using a spatula, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, being careful not to lose their volume.

5. Baking: Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan (greased with butter and lined with flour). Bake at 180°C for about 40 minutes or until the base is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the base to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack.

Preparing the nes cream

1. Beating the margarine: In a bowl, beat the margarine with the powdered sugar until you obtain a creamy and fluffy mixture. It is important that the margarine is at room temperature for proper incorporation.

2. Adding the nes: Add the 2 tablespoons of nes and continue mixing until the cream becomes homogeneous. Taste and adjust if necessary by adding more powdered sugar or nes, depending on your preference.

Assembling the cake

1. Cutting the base: Once the base is completely cooled, cut it into 3 equal parts. Make sure to use a sharp knife for clean cuts.

2. Filling: Between each layer of base, spread a generous layer of nes cream. You can use a spatula to smooth the cream.

3. Covering the cake: After completing all the layers, cover the cake with whipped cream. You can use a piping bag to create an attractive decoration, or simply spread the cream with a spatula.

4. Decorating: Decorate the cake with slices of kiwi, cherries, and mandarins. These fruits not only add a vibrant look but also a note of freshness to the cake.

Serving suggestions
