Mandarin mousse cake
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. You can make a colorful, juicy cake at home in just 2–3 hours. The main thing is to stir the gelatin thoroughly in the water so it dissolves completely; otherwise bits of gelatin will end up in the cream. Serve chilled or slightly warm.
