Delicious Raspberry Velvet Cake Recipe

Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease and line a round cake pan with parchment paper. This step is important to ensure your cake comes out easily. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside as you prepare the wet ingredients.

In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well combined. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until you achieve a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

While the velvet cake is cooling, you can prepare the raspberry mousse. In a blender, combine fresh raspberries and sugar, blending until smooth. In a small saucepan, heat the raspberry mixture over a low flame, stirring occasionally. Add the pectin and mix well, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil for about 2-3 minutes. This helps to set the mousse.

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the cooled raspberry mixture into the whipped cream gently, ensuring that you maintain the airy texture. If you'd like some added crunch, mix in the crispy rice balls.

Once the velvet biscuit has completely cooled, slice it horizontally in half if you wish to create layers. Place one layer on a serving plate and generously spread half of the raspberry mousse on top. If you have a second layer, place it on top and spread the remaining mousse over the top and sides of the cake.

You can leave the cake as is or decorate it with additional fresh raspberries for a more appealing look. Chill the cake for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving to allow the mousse to set beautifully. Enjoy every slice of this delightful Raspberry Velvet Cake!
