• 1

  Prepare an oven dish by greasing it slightly with butter, or by lining it with baking paper.
• 2

  Preheat the oven at 180 C.

• 4

  In a freestanding mixer, put all the egg whites with the salt and whizz for 2 min.
• 5

  Gradually add the sugar and the vanilla sugar while still whizzing.
• 6

  With the help of a spatula fold the flour in. Try to keep in as much air as possible so don't over mix but purely just for incorporating the flour.

  Pour the mixture into the prepared oven dish and place in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes depending really on the depths of your dish. Do the toothpick/wooden skewer test by piercing the cake with one all the way to the bottom and if the toothpick/skewer comes out clean then is done and ready.

  While the sponge is cooling off, start preparing the cream by whisking the creams together with the sugar, vanilla and lemon juice. Whisk the creams alone prior to adding the sugar for a while and then start adding sugar slowly slowly until nice and firm.

  Chop the fruits you wish to use and keep approx half for decoration. Choose fresh and canned fruits.
• 12

  When the sponge has cooled off using a cake cutting wire, cut the cake into 2 or 3 layers.
• 13

  Place the first sponge layer onto the serving plate.
• 14

  Using a palette knife spread one layer of the cream over the sponge. Sprinkle some mixed chopped fruits and place the second sponge layer. Repeat with spreading the crème Boolla Boolla and sprinkling the chopped fruits. It depends on the number of layers but if you e only cut the cake into two then you would have reached the top layer of the cake.
• 15

  Decorate with fruits, melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a pot with boiling water and drizzle some melted chocolate over it. It's done and almost ready to tuck in.
• 16

  Allow the cake to rest for at least one hour so that some juices from the crème will get absorbed by the sponge.
