Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 160°C.

  2. 2

    To make the cake: mix the cake ingredients together, mixing as you go. Split between two greased tins and bake for 35 or until a skewer comes out clean, turning them around half way through.

  3. 3

    To make the cream centre: Whisk the cream until is becomes stiff. Add your raspberries and 1 tablespoon of jam, and mix until blended. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

  4. 4

    To make the frosting: Blend the ingredients together in order until smooth. Once mixed, cover and refrigerate until needed.

  5. 5

    When the cake is done, remove from the oven and allow to cool.

  6. 6

    Once cool, even out the tips of the cakes so they are flat. Cover one side if one cake with your approx 6 tablespoons of jam.

  7. 7

    On the other cake, cover one side with your cream. Place one cake on the other so the jam and cream are sandwiched together in the middle.

  8. 8

    Apply your frosting to the outside. I chose to frost the sides, too.

  9. 9

    Decorate your cake with raspberries and dried raspberries.

  10. 10

    Enjoy!
