Ingredients

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
7 fluid ounces sunflower seed oil
6 1/2 fluid ounces orange-flavored carbonated beverage, such as Fanta(R)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
Decoration:
1 cup candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's(R))
4 cups confectioners' sugar, or as needed
2 tablespoons lemon juice, or as needed
5 drops assorted food coloring

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

Combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric blender until foamy. Add oil and orange soda and stir to combine.
3

Sift flour and baking powder together and slowly stir into batter until well combined. Spread batter on the prepared baking sheet.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
5

Sort chocolate-covered candy by the colors in your food color assortment, such as yellow, green, orange, blue, and red.
6

Cut cooled cake into evenly sized rectangles, about 1.5 x 3 inches in size, like oversized LEGO(R) pieces. Gauge the size in relationship to the chocolate-covered candy pieces; 8 pieces should fit onto each to resemble a large LEGO(R) piece.
7

Mix about 1/2 cup confectioners sugar with enough lemon juice in a bowl to make a thick icing. Color with a couple drops of food coloring so icing turns a deep color. Brush icing onto 2 or 3 cake pieces and arrange 8 chocolate-covered candy pieces with the matching color on top. Allow to set.
8

Continue with the next color and the next set of chocolate-covered candy pieces in the same color until all cake pieces are decorated. Allow to set.
