Delicious fruity cake with sour cream

For the dough, sift the flour into a bowl, then add the sugar and butter. Using the dough hook of a hand mixer, mix the ingredients thoroughly, first briefly on low speed, then on high. Then knead on a floured work surface until you have a smooth dough. If the dough is sticky, chill for a while. Roll out the dough onto a greased springform pan (26 cm) and prick it several times with a fork. Top/bottom heat: approx. 200°C, preheated Fan: approx. 180°C, not preheated Gas mark 3-4, preheated Baking time: approx. 10 minutes Remove the cake base from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack. Then spread with apricot jam and cover with the light sponge base. Now place a cake ring around the base. For the filling, soak the gelatine in a little cold water. Mix the sour cream with the lemon juice and sugar. Squeeze out the gelatine thoroughly, dissolve it according to the package instructions, and stir in. When the mixture begins to set, whip the cream until stiff and fold in. Spread half of this cream on the light base and then place the dark base on top. Drain the mandarins and apricots in a sieve. Set some aside for garnishing and spread the rest on the base. Spoon the remaining cream on top and smooth it down. Chill the cake for about 3 hours. Remove the cake ring. Whip the cream with vanilla sugar until stiff and fill a piping bag. Decorate the top of the cake with the cream and garnish with the reserved fruit.
