Equipment

  • 1 (13x18 in.) baking sheet

Ingredients
  

For the cake:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup canola oil
  • cup Fanta
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder

For the frosting:

  • cups heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp powdered gelatin
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 1 bar (3.5 oz.) dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla extract until frothy.
  • Add the oil and Fanta. Stir briefly.
  • Combine the flour and baking powder together, then fold it into the egg-Fanta mixture.
  • Spread the batter evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake on the middle rack for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the cake cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, wash and hull the strawberries and cut them into pieces.
  • In a small saucepan, dissolve the powdered gelatin in 2 tablespons of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes. Gently warm until liquid.
  • In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream. Gently fold in the gelatin and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Remove about ⅓ of the mixture and combine it with ⅓ of the strawberries. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled cake base.
  • Carefully spread the remaining cream over the strawberry layer. Top with the remaining strawberries. Roughly chop the chocolate and sprinkle it on top.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving.
