This dessert is very tender and fragrant. The ingredients are the most common, you can cook it both in a rectangular and round shape. The cream tastes like strawberry yoghurt. The cake can also be made without a berry layer, or you can make only light cake layers. Feel free to experiment!

Method

Cake layers

  • Whip the eggs and sugar until light foam.
  • Add soft butter, sour cream, water, baking soda and vanillin. Whip again.
  • Divide the mass in two equal parts.
  • Add the flour #1 to one part. Knead.
  • Add the flour #2 and cocoa to the other part. Knead.
  • Roll out each pastry part on a silicone mat to get the finished size of 25*35cm | 9.85*13.78 inch, when cut after baking.
  • Pierce each cake layer with a fork, and bake at 356F (180C) for 4-5 minutes.
  • Right after baking, wrap each cake layer with film to save the moisture.

Raspberry confit

  • Mash the raspberries and sugar in a blender.
  • Put it on the heat, and bring it to a boil.
  • Add the gelatin, and bring to a boil once again, stirring constantly.

Cream

  • All the ingredients should be of the same temperature.
  • Whip the butter until fluffy.
  • Add the cream cheese and the powdered sugar, and whip again.
  • Add the cream, and mix everything.
  • Stir in the raspberry puree, and whisk with a spatula until homogeneous.

* If you use fresh raspberries, then rub it through a sieve.

Chocolate glaze

  • Mix the cocoa and sugar in a thick-bottomed pan.
  • Add the milk, mix, and start cooking over a low heat.
  • Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  • At the end, add the butter, and mix until homogeneous.

* You may add some more milk if you think that the glaze is not liquid enough.

Assembly

  • Divide the cake layers in two. As a result, you should have two light layers and two chocolate ones.
  • Start assembling the dessert in a square frame mold.
  • Place a chocolate layer first.
  • Cover it with raspberry confit.
  • Cover the confit with cling film, and put the frame in the freezer to stabilize.
  • Remove the frozen dessert from the mold, and keep assembling.
  • Divide the cream in two parts.
  • Put a light cake layer, and cover it with the cream.
  • Put the chocolate cake layer with confit on top.
  • Next, cover it with the second half of the cream.
  • Finally, put the last light cake layer on top.
  • Wrap it all with cling film, and leave the dessert at room temperature for a couple of hours.
  • Then, put it in the fridge for an hour.
  • Cook the glaze, and cover the finished dessert with it.
  • When the glaze sets completely, cut the whole cake into shortcakes of the desired size.
