Preheat your oven to 360F.
- Mix 6 eggs with 6 tablespoons (90g) of sugar.
- Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- In a separate bowl, mix 9 tablespoons (90g) all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder and 3 tablespoons (20g) of cocoa powder.
- Add flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.
- Spread your batter onto a 13″x9″ baking pan.
- Bake at 360F for 20 minutes.
- In a saucepan, add 1.5 cups (300g) sugar to 2 cups (500ml) milk, 3 vanilla sugars (or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract). Bring to a boil.
- Mix 1 cup (120g) corn starch with 1 cup (250ml) of milk. Add this to the milk and cook until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat, transfer into a mixing bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Leave to cool.
- In a new bowl, add 1 cup (120g) of powdered sugar to 2 cups (300g) of ground Petit Beurre biscuits.
- Add 7 tablespoons (100g) of melted butter and 2/3 cups (150ml) of Fanta soda and mix. Add more Fanta as needed to make a spreadable filling.
- Mix cooled milk mixture until smooth.
- Gradually mix 1 cup + 2 tablespoons (250g) softened unsalted butter into the milk mixture.
- Divide equally into two parts. Mix 3.5oz (100g) of melted chocolate into one part.
- Now let’s start putting together your cake! Place the cake layer onto the tray. Brush with Fanta.
- Spread the Petit Beurre mixture first. Then, line the Jaffa cookies (aka European orange biscuits) over and brush them with Fanta. Next, spread the white (milk) filling.
- Dip ladyfingers into Fanta and line them up over the white filling.
- Spread the chocolate mixture over the ladyfingers.
- Mix 1 cup of whipping cream to cover the cake or use the chocolate glaze if you prefer. Decorate with your remaining orange biscuits.
