Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients
For the base:
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 2 tablespoons of melted margarine
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- Orange essence (to taste)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
For the cream:
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 350 ml of milk
- 50 g of margarine
- 1 packet of gelatin
- 200 ml of whipped cream
- Pulp from 2 oranges
For the jelly:
- 1 packet of strawberry pudding
- 400 ml of cherry juice
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
Step by step
1. Preparing the base
We start with the cake base. Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a large bowl and the whites in another. Using a mixer, beat the yolks with the sugar until they become a fine, light-colored cream. This step will help achieve an airy base.
In the egg whites, add a pinch of salt and beat them until stiff peaks form. This will add volume and lightness to your bases.
Add the beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture and gently fold with a spatula to avoid losing air in the mixture. It is important to use an up-and-down motion to keep it airy.
Incorporate the melted margarine, mixing gently.
In another bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Sift this mixture over the eggs and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous and lump-free composition.
Pour the obtained batter into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and greased with a little oil. Place the tray in the preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick test comes out clean.
2. Preparing the cream
Meanwhile, we prepare the cream. In a bowl, mix the pudding with the sugar and a splash of milk until it becomes a smooth paste.
Bring the rest of the milk to a boil. Once it starts boiling, remove it from heat and add the pudding mixture, stirring continuously. Then, put it back on the heat and let it boil until it thickens.
After it has cooled slightly, add the melted margarine and mix well.
Hydrate the gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes. Then, heat it in a double boiler until completely dissolved, and mix it into the pudding cream. Let the cream cool.
Once the cream has cooled, add the finely chopped orange pulp. Whip the cream until it becomes firm and carefully fold it into the pudding cream.
3. Preparing the jelly
For the jelly, mix the strawberry pudding with the sugar and a little cherry juice. Then, add the rest of the juice to heat, and when it warms up, add the pudding mixture. Stir well until it thickens and let it cool.
4. Assembling the cake
After the base has completely cooled, pour the vanilla cream over it, leveling it well. Then, add the strawberry jelly, spreading it evenly over the cream.
Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for a few hours, ideally overnight, to set well.
Serving and suggestions
Fanta Cake can be served plain or with a dollop of whipped cream on top. It is a perfect choice for a summer dessert, but also for parties or gatherings with friends. You can experiment with different types of juices for the jelly, such as peach or pineapple juice, to add a touch of originality.
Nutritional benefits and calories
This cake is a source of energy, due to the carbohydrates from sugar and flour, but also provides vitamins from the fruits. A serving of Fanta Cake has approximately 250 calories, but this number may vary depending on the ingredients used. It is important to enjoy sweets in moderation, but don't hesitate to share this delicacy with your loved ones!
