Raspberry Cake
Description
Raspberry cake can be made not only in summer but at any time of the year—just use frozen raspberries! This recipe calls for almond flour, but if you don't have any, finely grind toasted almonds instead. One more important note: mix the batter with whipped egg whites and cream gently. They may deflate. Of course, this raspberry cake recipe is better suited for experienced cooks, as it involves many steps that must be done carefully and precisely. I recommend heating the egg yolks over a double boiler; otherwise, they might burn. Also, beat the cream carefully—overbeating will turn it into butter! Prepare the cake in stages rather than all at once. You can bake the sponge layers the day before and prepare the jelly ahead of time. This way, assembling the raspberry cake will become easy and enjoyable. Good luck and
