Baking time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

For the Base:
- 6 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of water
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 12 tablespoons of flour
- 1 packet of baking powder

For the Chocolate Cream:
- 1 packet of chocolate pudding
- 500 ml milk
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 200 ml whipped cream

For the Vanilla Cream:
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding
- 500 ml milk
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 200 ml whipped cream

For the Berry Cream:
- 200 g fruit yogurt
- 100 ml whipped cream
- 50 g berries (fresh or frozen)
- 5 g gelatin (about 1/2 packet)
- 50 g sugar

For Decoration:
- Berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries) from compote, well drained
- Large chocolate egg

Preparation:

1. Preparing the Base:
- Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Prepare a large baking tray (or a baking tray from the stove), lining it with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites together with the 6 tablespoons of water until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a firm meringue.
- Carefully fold in the egg yolks, gently mixing with a spatula to avoid losing air in the mixture.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg mixture, gently mixing until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the base is well risen and passes the toothpick test. Let it cool completely.

2. Preparing the Vanilla Cream:
- In a saucepan, add the packet of vanilla pudding, sugar, and milk. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
- After boiling, cover with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the pudding to prevent a crust from forming. Let it cool.
- When cool, mix the pudding until creamy and add the whipped cream, gently folding it in.

3. Preparing the Chocolate Cream:
- Repeat the process with the chocolate pudding: mix the pudding, sugar, and milk in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Once thickened, let it cool covered with plastic wrap. Then mix with the whipped cream.

4. Preparing the Berry Cream:
- Cook the berries with the sugar for 5 minutes. Let them cool.
- Hydrate the gelatin in 2 tablespoons of cold water, then melt it in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Mix the fruit yogurt with the melted gelatin and then add the cooked and blended berries.
- Whip the cream and fold it into the yogurt and fruit mixture.

5. Assembling the Cake:
- Once the base has cooled, cut it into desired shapes using paper templates to obtain egg halves.
- Assemble the cake by placing one half of the egg on a platter. Fill the spaces with vanilla cream, berry cream, and fresh fruit.
- Place the other half of the egg on top and fill with chocolate cream, berry cream, and more fruit.
- Decorate with fresh fruit for a vibrant and appetizing look.

6. Serving:
- Let the cake cool in the refrigerator for a few hours, ideally overnight, to meld the flavors.
- Serve it with a glass of sparkling wine or fresh lemonade for a refreshing contrast.

Practical Tip: To avoid cracking the chocolate cream, make sure the pudding is well cooled before adding the whipped cream. You can also experiment with various berries, such as blackberries or blueberries, to customize the cake to your preferences.
