Soaking Mixture
Instructions
Step 1
Begin by beating the *eggs*, *sugar*, *salt*, and *vanilla* together until the mixture becomes fluffy and light, approximately 7-8 minutes.
Sift together the *flour*, *corn starch*, and *baking powder* in a separate bowl.
Combine the *boiling water* with the *vegetable oil* in a small bowl.
Gradually fold the dry and liquid mixtures into the beaten eggs, alternating and gently stirring with a spatula to avoid deflating the batter.
Bake the cake at 180°C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes. Allow it to cool, then refrigerate for 5-6 hours to set.
Step 2
Whip the *cream cheese* with *heavy cream* and *powdered sugar* until a dense, uniform cream forms.
Add the *raspberry puree* and gently fold it in with a spatula until well combined.
Step 3
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine all the ingredients.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Once thickened, cool completely in the refrigerator.
Step 4
Warm the *milk* and stir in the *sweetened condensed milk* until fully dissolved.
Allow the mixture to cool before using it to moisten the cake layers.
Step 5
Soak the cooled sponge cake layers with the prepared milk mixture. Layer with cream and confiture as desired.
Decorate the cake as you wish and serve.
Servings
Enhance the cake's flavor with whipped cream, not just on the top, but also consider wrapping the entire cake with a smooth layer for an elegant finish. 🌟
For a refreshing twist, serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. The cool, creamy texture pairs wonderfully with the tart raspberry notes. 🍨
Try topping the cake with fresh raspberries and mint leaves for a colorful and aromatic garnish. 🍃
If you're feeling adventurous, drizzle some melted white chocolate over the top. It adds a sweet contrast and a touch of sophistication. 🍫
Equipment
An electric mixer will ensure your eggs and sugar reach the perfect level of fluffiness. Consider using a stand mixer to free up your hands for multitasking.

Variations
Gluten-Free Version: Substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend and ensure all other ingredients, like the cornstarch and baking powder, are certified gluten-free. 🍰
Vegan Twist: Replace eggs with flaxseed eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) and use coconut cream instead of dairy cream. Opt for a plant-based cream cheese for the frosting. 🌱
Faq
- Why is my sponge not rising?
Ensure your eggs are whisked until light and fluffy; any shortcuts can lead to a dense cake. Also, check that your baking powder is fresh.
- How do I prevent my cake from sticking to the pan?
Line the pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides before pouring in the batter.
- Can I use frozen raspberries for the confiture?
Absolutely! Just make sure they are thoroughly thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture.
- What should I do if my cream is too runny?
Chill both your bowl and cream thoroughly before whipping. Extra whipping time might also help it reach the desired thickness.
- How can I enhance the raspberry flavor in the cake?
Incorporate a raspberry extract or add a spoonful of raspberry liqueur into the cream for a bolder taste.
- Is it possible to make the cake a day ahead?
Yes, this can even enhance the taste! Store it in the fridge, covered, to keep it fresh. Assemble and frost the cake the day of serving for best results.
