Ingredients

8 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 packets unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
8 oz tub of sour cream
8 oz tub of cool whip
1 can sprite
2 cups 1 pint heavy whipping cream

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and line a 9-by-13-inch pan with baking paper.
Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until thick, fold in the flour, and spread the batter in the pan.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the sponge is set and the eggs reach 160 F, then cool it completely.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the milk, warm it in a small saucepan until dissolved, and cool it slightly.
Beat the sour cream with the sugar, fold in the gelatin mixture and cool whip, and spread it over the sponge.
Drizzle Sprite over the sponge before spreading the filling, then chill the cake for 20 minutes.
Heat the heavy cream, pour it over the chocolate chips, stir until smooth, spread it on top, and chill for 10 minutes.
