Recipe for a pool cake

Ingredients

• 1 cake (e.g., a mug cake)
• 500 g mascarpone
• 1 pack vanilla pudding
• 500 ml milk
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 4 sheets white gelatin
• 1 tbsp sugar
• blue food coloring
• Ladyfingers
• small marshmallows
• colored chocolate candies: e.g., M & M's or Smarties

Preparation

1. Bake the cake and let it cool.

2. Soak the gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.

3. Heat the sugar with 1/4 l of water and color it blue with food coloring, dissolve the soaked gelatin in it and pour into a bowl.

4. Let the gelatin cool in the refrigerator.

5. Prepare the pudding as described on the package and mix it with the mascarpone.

6. Now slice the cake horizontally through the middle and fill with about 1/3 of the pudding-mascarpone cream.

7. Spread the remaining cream around the outside and on top of the cake.

8. Attach the ladyfingers to the edge immediately; if the cream firms up, the ladyfingers will no longer hold.

9. Now also distribute the marshmallows and the chocolate candies along the edge.

10. Break up the gelatin with a fork and spread it as water on the 'pool'.
