Sponge cake with buttercream and fruits
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. Of course, many older people will remember the butter cakes made in the Soviet Union. On one hand, they were tasty, but there wasn't much variety in desserts, and such cakes became rather monotonous over time. However, revisiting such a recipe and improving it can make the dish "shine" with new "colors" and flavor nuances. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.

Now sift the flour into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Pour the batter onto parchment paper in a baking pan and bake the sponge cake for about 40 minutes, but it's better to check for doneness, as ovens vary.

While the biscuit is baking, prepare the fruit filling. Dissolve gelatin in 100 g of water. Once it swells, gently heat until fully dissolved, then cool. Peel the kiwi and slice into wedges. Pour the gelatin over the fruit and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
