For the sponge cake base, mix the flour and baking powder thoroughly. Combine all ingredients except the flour in a mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture with a whisk, ideally with a food processor, until the mixture turns almost white. This will dissolve all the sugar. Sift the flour onto the cake and carefully fold it into the sponge cake by hand. Do not stir! Always work from the bottom up until everything is smooth. The less the sponge cake collapses, the better the work. Line the bottom of a 24 cm springform pan with baking paper, leaving the edges free and do not grease. Pour the sponge cake mixture into the pan, smooth it out, and pull the edges up slightly. Bake in an oven preheated to 220°C (top/bottom heat) for 7 minutes, then reduce the heat to 200°C. When the mixture begins to brown, turn off the oven and leave the sponge cake in the oven for another 1-2 minutes. Remove and let it cool thoroughly in the refrigerator. Spread a thick layer of sambal over the sponge cake and arrange the pineapple slices on top. Place the cake on the springform pan and place the ring over the cake. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. Mix the orange juice with the lime juice and heat together with the sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the gelling agent and simmer for 3 minutes to activate the agar-agar. Remove from the heat and observe. When the gelling agent begins to set, pour the mixture over the cake and let it set. Return to the refrigerator. Ideally, let it mature overnight. Then, enjoy the surprise.
