Choux cake with raspberry

The raspberries go very well with cream cheese, as well as strawberries (can be replaced with it). This cake is cooked very simply. You can skip cutting the cake layers, and make small shortcakes.

Method

Choux pastry

  • In a saucepan, mix the water, butter, salt and sugar; bring to a boil, remove from heat, and immediately add all the flour. Stir thoroughly, and put on a small heat, stirring constantly and boiling until dense and homogeneous state.
  • Remove the dough from the heat, and let it cool for 10 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring each time until smooth.
  • Put the dough in a circle of the desired diameter (I have it 12cm | 4.72 inch), and bake the pastry at 392F (200C) for 20-25 minutes.
  • Right after baking, place the resulting cake layers in a container for at least 1 hour at room temperature.

The cream

Combine all the ingredients, and whip.

The filling

  • Put the raspberries on a medium heat, and cook until boiling. The berries should extract the juice.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and starch; mix well, and add it to the raspberries. Cook until thick, and cool to room temperature.

Assembly

  • Place a choux cake layer (either cut lengthwise into two halves, or whole), and pipe the cream in a circle over it.
  • Spread a layer of raspberries on top, and coverit with a second choux cake layer. Then the cream again and raspberries.
  • Top the dessert with cream and raspberry slices.
