Raspberry cake is an exquisite dessert that is especially popular in the summer. There are many ways to make a cake, but a simple and quick recipe is the most optimal.
Raspberry cake is a delicate and juicy delicacy. It is better to bake it in the summer from fresh berries, since frozen ones are not suitable for this. Moreover, fresh raspberries will give a unique aroma and amazing taste.
Required Ingredients
To make a delicious and unusual raspberry cake, you need to take the following ingredients:
- Chicken eggs - 4-5 pieces (depending on the size of the eggs).
- Granulated sugar - 200 g.
- Wheat flour - 200-230 g.
- Sour cream 500 gr (for a cake it is better to choose sour cream with a fat content of 25-30%).
- A small piece of butter to grease the baking sheet.
These ingredients are needed to make a biscuit. For the filling you will need:
- Granulated sugar 100-150 g (here it depends on individual preferences - more or less sweet).
- Fresh raspberries - 300 g.
- Peeled walnuts - 100 g.
- Cocoa - 1 tablespoon
In order to facilitate the baking process, it is recommended to prepare all the necessary components in the right amount in advance.
Cooking process
In the course of cooking, you need to carefully follow each step of the step-by-step recipe. Otherwise, the cake may not work. To start making a cake, you must:
- Beat the sour cream with sugar using a mixer and put in the refrigerator for 34-40 minutes.
- In a glass or ceramic bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until a white foam forms - this is for making a biscuit.
- Whisk the yolks in a separate bowl. After that, they must be combined with the whipped egg whites. Stir the mixture constantly while pouring.
- Sift the flour through a sieve and add to the egg mass. This should be done not too intensely so that the dough does not lose its original airiness.
At this stage, you need to break away from the process in order to put the oven on heating. The temperature in it should be 180 ° C. While the oven is preheating, you need to take a baking sheet and put special baking paper on it. The surface of the paper is greased with butter.
The next step is to lay out the dough on a baking sheet. This should be done evenly. Bake for no more than 15 minutes. After baking, the biscuit must be cooled. Further, the process will be as follows:
- The cooled cake needs to be cut into strips 5-6 cm wide.
- They must be generously greased with whipped sour cream. In this case, part of the sour cream must be left. Put berries on top of each greased strip.
- Now the first strip must be wrapped in the form of a roll and laid out on the surface prepared for the cake.
- Alternately around the first strip, lay out the rest. You need to spread it so that each next one starts from the end of the previous one.
- At the final stage, the cake should be wrapped on the sides with a thick layer of foil and put in the refrigerator for 3-5 hours.
Having taken out the cake after this time, its surface must be brushed off with the remaining cream. You need to decorate the cake with the remaining raspberries, chopped walnuts and cocoa. An example of a decor is to spread berries in a chaotic manner over the surface, sprinkling with nuts and cocoa.
Raspberry cake prepared according to the recipe will be a worthy decoration for any table. Such a dessert can be prepared for a special occasion or simply to pamper family and friends. The cake is pretty interesting. It will appeal to both adults and children.
