- Total time: 1 hour and 5-10 minutes
- Number of servings: 12

Ingredients

For the cream:
- 500 ml milk
- 3 eggs (yolks and whites separated)
- 500 g sugar
- 3 packets of gelatin (30 g)
- 500 ml liquid cream

For the base:
- 6 eggs (yolks and whites separated)
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 6 tablespoons of sugar

For decoration:
- Orange slices
- Kiwi slices

Preparing the Cream

1. Preparing the gelatin: Start by dissolving the gelatin in warm water. Make sure to follow the instructions on the package to achieve the perfect consistency.

2. Boiling the milk: In a saucepan, add the milk, egg yolks, vanilla sugar, and regular sugar. Place the mixture over medium heat and stir continuously to prevent sticking. Let it boil for 10-15 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Incorporating the gelatin: Once the mixture has boiled, remove it from the heat and add the dissolved gelatin. Mix well to ensure the gelatin is fully integrated. Let the cream cool.

4. Beating the egg whites and cream: In another bowl, beat the egg whites until you achieve a firm foam. In another container, whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. Now, gently fold the egg whites and cream into the cooled cream using a spatula in circular motions to maintain the air in the mixture.

Preparing the Base

1. Beating the egg whites: In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until you achieve a stiff and glossy foam.

2. Incorporating the yolks: Add the yolks, mixing gently to avoid deflating the foam.

3. Adding the flour: Sift the flour over the egg mixture and fold it in with gentle, upward strokes to maintain the air.

4. Baking: Grease a baking pan with oil and dust it with flour. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake at 180°C for 30-35 minutes or until the base is well baked and passes the toothpick test.

5. Cooling the bases: When the base is ready, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a rack.

Decorating the Cake

1. Preparing the mold: Choose a round pot and cover it with a large bag so that it covers all sides.

2. Arranging the fruits: Place orange and kiwi slices at the bottom of the pot, creating an even and attractive pattern.

3. Assembling the cake: Pour half of the prepared cream over the fruits, then place the first cake layer. Add the remaining cream and, finally, place the second layer. Cover everything and refrigerate the cake until the next day to set and develop the flavors.

4. Serving: The next day, turn the cake onto a serving platter. Carefully remove the bag and admire the beauty of this exotic cake! You can further decorate with fresh fruits or coconut flakes for an even more exotic look.
