Preparation Time: 30 minutes Baking Time: 15 minutes Cooling Time: 2-3 hours (ideally overnight) Number of Servings: 12 Ingredients For the Base: - 6 eggs - 200 g sugar - 180 g flour - 30 ml oil - A pinch of salt - 1 packet of vanilla For Cream 1: - 5-6 ripe kiwi fruits - 200 ml liquid cream - 1 tablespoon powdered sugar - 1 tablespoon sour cream - 1 packet of gelatin For Cream 2: - 2-3 ripe kaki fruits - 200 ml liquid cream - 1 tablespoon vanilla-flavored powdered sugar - 1 tablespoon sour cream - 1 packet of gelatin Decoration: - Fresh diced kaki and kiwi fruits Preparing the Base 1. Preparing the Meringue Base: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and, using a mixer, beat them until foamy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a firm and glossy meringue. Patience is essential at this stage, as a well-beaten meringue will make the cake airy and light. 2. Combining Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg yolks together with the oil and vanilla. Once the mixture is homogeneous, carefully incorporate it into the meringue, gently folding with a spatula to avoid losing air. Then, add the sifted flour, also in a rain, mixing with delicate movements. 3. Baking the Base: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Spread it evenly and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes. The base is ready when it is lightly golden and passes the toothpick test. 4. Cooling the Base: Once out of the oven, detach the base from the parchment paper using a knife blade while it is still warm. Cut it in half and let it cool completely. Preparing the Cream Cream 1: 1. Kiwi Fruits: Peel the kiwi fruits and puree them with a blender until you achieve a fine puree. This will add a fresh and vibrant taste to your cream. 2. Whipping the Cream: In a bowl, whip the liquid cream with a tablespoon of powdered sugar until it thickens. Add the sour cream and mix gently. 3. Incorporating the Gelatin: Hydrate the gelatin in 75 ml of cold water, then dissolve it in a bain-marie. Add the gelatin to the whipped cream, followed by the kiwi puree. Mix gently to combine the ingredients. 4. Assembling the Cake: Place the first half of the base in a square adjustable mold, pour in the kiwi cream, and sprinkle diced kaki to add a touch of color and flavor. Cream 2: 1. Preparing the Kaki Fruits: Similarly, peel and puree the kaki fruits to obtain a puree. 2. Whipping the Cream: Follow the same steps as for the first cream, but this time add the kaki puree to the whipped cream. 3. Finalizing the Cake: Pour the kaki cream over the already assembled cake, sprinkle diced kiwi, and place the second half of the base on top. Press down gently with your hand to secure it. Final Cooling Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours. Ideally, let it cool overnight to allow the flavors to meld perfectly. Serving and Suggestions When serving, you can decorate the cake with fresh kaki and kiwi fruits, adding a touch of freshness and an appetizing look. This cake pairs perfectly with a cold green tea or fresh lemonade. Nutritional Benefits Kaki and kiwi are rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
