Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 250g sugar
  • 100ml oil
  • 0.5l Fanta Mandarin soda
  • 250g flour
  • 1 packet baking powder (about 12g)

Paradise Cream Ingredients

  • 1 packet vanilla instant pudding mix (about 40-50g)
  • 500ml whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Toppings

  • 2 cans mandarin oranges, drained (approximately 300-400g drained weight)
  • Icing sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Whip Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the 3 eggs and 250g sugar together until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color, incorporating air for a tender cake texture.
  2. Add Oil and Fanta: Pour in 100ml oil and mix well to combine. Slowly stir in 0.5 liters of Fanta Mandarin soda to add moisture and a subtle citrus flavor to the batter.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Mix 250g flour and one packet of baking powder together. Gradually add this flour mixture into the wet ingredients a spoonful at a time, stirring carefully to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth, consistent batter.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 500ml cold whipping cream. Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar while whipping until the cream forms stiff peaks, ensuring it is stable.
  5. Add Pudding Mix to Cream: Slowly sprinkle the vanilla instant pudding mix into the whipped cream while continuing to whip, creating a smooth and velvety pudding cream known as Paradise Cream.
  6. Spread Cream on Cake: Once the cake is baked and completely cooled, generously spread the prepared vanilla pudding whipped cream evenly over the cake surface.
  7. Top with Mandarins: Evenly distribute the drained mandarin oranges over the cream layer for a fresh and zesty topping.
  8. Optional Sugar Dusting: Lightly dust the cake surface with icing sugar if desired, for added sweetness and presentation.
  9. Chill the Cake: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least one hour to allow the pudding cream to set and flavors to meld, enhancing the taste and texture.
  10. Serve: Cut the chilled cake into slices and serve as a delightful fruity dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the whipping cream is well chilled before whipping to achieve a stable and fluffy texture.
  • You can substitute the mandarin oranges with other canned fruits like peaches or pineapple for variety.
  • Chilling the cake helps draw juice from the mandarins, giving the cake a pleasant freshness and moistness.
  • The cake batter is delicate; avoid over-mixing after adding the flour to keep it light and airy.
