Often favored at special events, these cakes are stripped of thick frosting, revealing delicious layers of cream and fruit. They perfectly match the summer atmosphere, being fresh and easy to enjoy. Ingredients For this delicious cake, you will need the following ingredients: - 400 g digestive biscuits - 1/2 pack of Rama margarine or butter - 1 packet chocolate-flavored cream Dr. Oetker - 250 ml cold milk - 6 tablespoons Green Sugar (or regular sugar) - 250 g Mascarpone cheese - 200 ml whipped cream - 500 g Mascarpone cheese - 400 ml whipped cream - 6 tablespoons Green Sugar - 250 g fresh raspberries - 2 tablespoons instant cocoa - 3-4 pieces of mini meringues dipped in chocolate Step by Step 1. Preparing the Raspberries Start by washing the raspberries thoroughly and draining them in a sieve. It is important for the raspberries to be dry to avoid diluting the cream. This will add a fresh and vibrant taste to your cake. 2. Preparing the Base - Crumbling the Biscuits: In a large bowl, crumble the digestive biscuits until they become a fine powder. You can use a food processor or a rolling pin to crush them. - Melting the Margarine: In another container, melt the margarine (or butter) over low heat and then add it over the biscuits. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. - Forming the Base: Place the biscuit mixture in a cake ring on a platter. Level it well with a spoon, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Chill for about 30 minutes. 3. Chocolate Cream - In a bowl, prepare the chocolate cream according to the instructions on the package, using the 250 ml of cold milk. Add 3 tablespoons of Green Sugar to sweeten the cream. - In another bowl, mix 250 g of Mascarpone cheese with the 3 tablespoons of Green Sugar. Whip well until it becomes fluffy. - Whip the cream until it becomes firm and add it to the chocolate and mascarpone mixture. Combine everything carefully to keep the air in the whipped cream. 4. Assembling the Cake - After the base has chilled, pour the chocolate cream over it. Evenly arrange the fresh raspberries on top of the chocolate cream and chill for another 30 minutes. 5. Whipped Cream - In another bowl, mix the 500 g of Mascarpone cheese with the 6 tablespoons of Green Sugar. Whip well until fluffy. - Whip the remaining cream (400 ml) until firm and mix it with the mascarpone cream. Spread this cream over the raspberries and chill for 2 hours. 6. Decorating the Cake - Once the cooling time has expired, carefully remove the cake ring. - Decorate the cake with instant cocoa, fresh raspberries, and mini meringues dipped in chocolate. These additions are not only delicious but also visually appealing! Practical Tips - Choose Fresh Fruits: Ensure that the raspberries are fresh and well-ripened. You can substitute raspberries with other seasonal fruits like strawberries or peaches for a variation in flavor. - Sweetener Alternative: If you want a healthier option, you can use maple syrup or honey instead of Green Sugar. - Storage: The cake can be kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but it is best enjoyed fresh.
