This cake has a sponge base spread with strawberry jam and a cream filling made with heavy whipping cream, two packets of instant pudding mix, and canned mandarin oranges. Instead of beating the filling with a mixer, put everything in a bowl with a lid and shake vigorously for about two minutes, until thick.
Finish with a topping made from whipped cream powder.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Bake the sponge cake
Beat the egg yolks with the powdered sugar until light and foamy, then add the oil. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold the flour and beaten whites alternately into the yolk mixture. Pour the batter into a cake pan about 24 cm in diameter lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for about 25–30 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out dry. Let the cake cool.
Shake the cream filling
Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a bowl with a tight-fitting lid. Add both packets of pudding mix and the drained mandarin oranges. Close the bowl and shake vigorously for about 2 minutes, until the filling thickens.
Assemble the cake
Spread the strawberry jam over the cooled cake, then spread the cream filling on top. Beat the whipped cream powder with the cold milk according to the package directions, then spread it over the filling.
Keep the cake refrigerated until serving.
Tip: The cream, milk, and bowl must be thoroughly chilled, or the filling will not thicken when shaken. Drain the mandarin oranges well, as their juice would thin the filling.
