Cream Ingredients






Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine soft unsalted butter with granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until creamy and well combined.
Add 3 large eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.
Next, incorporate 100 grams of sour cream or cottage cheese into the batter. Then, gradually add 150 grams of all-purpose flour mixed with 10 grams of baking powder, stirring until the batter is uniform.
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 2
While the biscuit is baking, prepare the cream. In a clean mixing bowl, add 250 grams of mascarpone cheese, 80 grams of heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.
Using a mixer, whip the mixture until it reaches stiff peaks. Be careful not to over-whip, as the cream can become grainy.
Step 3
Once the biscuit has cooled completely, spread the whipped cream evenly on top of the biscuit layer.
For the final touch, decorate the cake with your choice of fresh berries. Serve immediately for the best flavor!

Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients. Opt for a large size to give you plenty of room for whisking and mixing!



If you have an electric mixer, you’re in luck! It makes the job easier and faster. If not, a manual whisk will work just fine—just be ready for a bit of an arm workout!
A round cake pan (around 9 inches) works best for this recipe. Make sure to grease it well to prevent sticking.



A rubber spatula is great for folding in your ingredients gently and transferring your batter into the baking pan!



Variations
Faq
- Can I use other fruits instead of berries?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with different fruits like bananas, mangoes, or even peach slices—whatever is in season!
- What should I do if my cake doesn't rise properly?
Ensure that your baking powder is fresh and properly mixed into the flour. Make sure to follow the steps carefully, as adding the ingredients in the wrong order might affect the batter's consistency!
- How can I tell when the cake is done?
A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Also, the edges should be lightly golden and pulling away from the sides of the pan.
- Can I make the cake ahead of time and store it?
Yes, you can prepare the cake a day or two in advance, just make sure to wrap it well and keep it in the fridge. Frost it right before serving for the best taste and appearance!
- What's the best way to store leftover cake?
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If it's not frosted, it can also be frozen for a few weeks!
- Can I use a different type of cream instead of mascarpone?
Definitely! Cream cheese or Greek yogurt can make great alternatives, offering their unique flavors.
