Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 40-50 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes Number of servings: 10 Ingredients *For the caramelized raspberries:* - 200 grams sugar - 100 grams butter - 200 grams fresh raspberries (about 2 cups) *For the cake:* - 5 large eggs - 150 grams sugar - 2 packets vanilla sugar - 200 grams flour - 3 tablespoons cocoa powder - 1 packet baking powder - Zest of one lemon - 5 tablespoons oil - 100 grams raisins (optional) Preparation 1. Prepare the oven and the mold Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Place a round cake mold (or a Gugelhopf mold, if you have one) on the work surface. Grease it well with butter and sprinkle flour to prevent sticking. 2. Caramelized raspberries In a pan, add the sugar and place it on low heat. It is important not to rush the process, so stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns golden. Add the butter and continue stirring until it is well combined. Once the mixture becomes fluid, carefully pour it into the bottom of the cake mold. Then, place the raspberries on top of the caramel, ensuring they are evenly distributed. 3. Prepare the cake batter In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you achieve a stiff foam. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until you obtain a shiny meringue. This step is essential to give the cake a fluffy texture. Add the egg yolks and mix gently, then incorporate the oil. 4. The dry ingredients In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Sprinkle the lemon zest and raisins (if using) into this mixture. Then, add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture using a large spatula. Mix gently, with up-and-down motions, until everything is well combined. Be careful not to overmix! 5. Baking Pour the batter over the caramelized raspberries in the mold. Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test (inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake should come out clean). 6. Inversion When the cake is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a serving platter. Leave the mold on top for a few minutes to allow the caramel to drip nicely over the cake. Serving suggestion You can serve the Gugelhopf with a dollop of sour cream or whipped cream for a creamy contrast with the caramelized raspberries. Additionally, a glass of white wine or a cup of black fruit tea will pair perfectly with this dessert. Tips and tricks - Choose fresh raspberries, but you can also use frozen raspberries. In this case, it is recommended to let them thaw and drain excess water before adding them. - You can replace raspberries with other berries or even peach chunks for a different variation. - Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a uniform texture. - If you want a chocolate Gugelhopf, you can replace 50 grams of flour with cocoa powder.
