Raspberry yoghurt cake

The acidity of yoghurt and the perfumed sweetness of raspberries are a classic summer pairing. This cake is all about lightness: the sponge is thin, and the cream is airy and refreshing. It doesn't weigh down the stomach but still satisfies the craving for sweets.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and flour the cake tin. Mix the flour with the baking powder.

Tip: Basic preparations for successful baking.
2

Cream the soft butter with the caster sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs one by one. Finally, fold in the flour mixture.

Tip: Butter sponge (Madeira style) is denser and richer in flavour than fatless sponge.
3

Bake the batter for 20-25 minutes (skewer test). Allow to cool completely.

Tip: Hot sponge would melt the cream.
4

Bloom the gelatine in the water, then warm until lukewarm.

Tip: Do not boil!
5

Mix the yoghurt with the icing sugar. Add the gelatine to the yoghurt using tempering (mixing with a little yoghurt first).

Tip: This prevents lumps.
6

Whip the cream and fold into the yoghurt base along with half the raspberries.

Tip: Breaking some raspberries can give a nice marbled pattern, but leaving them whole means they burst when eaten.
7

Place the sponge back in the tin (or use a cake ring), pour the cream over it, and chill for 4 hours.

Tip: The tin holds the cream's shape until it sets.
8

Decorate with the remaining raspberries before serving.

Tip: Even more spectacular with fresh lemon balm.
