Directions

  1. 1

    Separate the eggs for the sponge cake. Beat the egg white and 2 tbsp. water until stiff, adding 50 g sugar and salt. Stir in 2 egg yolks. Mix flour and baking powder, sieve over the mixture and fold in.

  2. 2

    Put the sponge cake into a springform pan (26 cm Ø) lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool down on a cake rack.

  3. 3

    Boil 150 g raspberries with 50 g sugar in a pot. Stir the starch with a little water until smooth, add to the boiling raspberries. Let simmer for about 1 minute while stirring. Fold in the rest of the frozen raspberries, remove from the heat and allow to cool.

  4. 4

    Chop both types of couverture separately and carefully melt each with 1/2 cube of coconut oil over a warm water bath. Halve about 9 lady fingers and cover with white chocolate coating. Coat 2 whole lady fingers with dark chocolate coating, allow to dry.

  5. 5

    Decorate dark couverture with some white couverture, let it dry.

    Remove the bottom from the mould. Place on a cake plate and place a cake ring around it. For the cream, soak gelatine in cold water. Whip 2 egg yolks with icing sugar until white-creamy. Stir in mascarpone and lemon zest.

  7. 7

    Squeeze the gelatine well, dissolve carefully with rum. Stir a little cream into the gelatine, then stir everything into the rest of the cream. Whip 250 g cream until stiff and fold in. Spread a little cream on the base.

  8. 8

    Place the lady fingers in the cream with some distance to the edge. Leave about 3 light sponge fingers between the sponge fingers with dark chocolate coating. Chill the cake for approx. 10 minutes, storing the cream at room temperature.

  9. 9

    Spread the raspberry jelly over the cake, leaving some space between the sponge fingers. Carefully add the rest of the cream and spread it. Chill for at least 3 hours. Whip 150 g cream until stiff.
