Ingredients
- 370 g raspberry and blackcurrant jam (50/50)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice • 250 g butter, softened • 250 g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 250 g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- icing sugar
- fresh raspberries
- 2 oven-proof baking sheets (18–20 cm Ø) (e.g. the bases from two spring-form cake tins)
Note: The recipe works just as well with just one mould, but a little more time should be calculated for baking then.
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C bottom and top heat.
2. Mix the jam with 1-2 tbsp of water and a little lemon juice to achieve a thick, spreadable consistency.
3. Mix the jam with 1-2 tbsp of water and a little lemon juice to achieve a thick, spreadable consistency.
4. Add 1⁄3 of the whipped egg whites to the butter/sugar/egg yolk mix and fold in. Add the flour and baking powder and mix well. Finally, fold in the rest of the egg whites.
5. Prepare 2 equal-sized baking sheets and line with baking paper cut to the desired size and shape.
6. Spread a very thin layer of cake batter on the first base lined with baking paper and bake in the oven until the edge turns brown (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from the oven, immediately lift the sponge cake layer off the baking sheet and place it on a cake plate.
7. Spread a thin layer of cake batter on the second paper-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven.
8. Spread a thin layer of cake batter on the second paper-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven.
9. Then bake the next sponge cake disk. Repeat these two steps until you have used up all the batter (you should end up with 10-12 layers of sponge cake). You can reuse the baking paper several times.
10. There is no jam on the last disk. The cake can be enjoyed fresh from the oven, but will also taste delicious if stored covered with aluminium foil for 1-2 days at room temperature, which lets the flavours unfold. Dust with icing sugar and serve in thin slices with some fresh raspberries.
Tips
If making this as a birthday cake, you can adjust the number of cake disks to match the birthday boy or girl's age. Just remember to adjust the recipe to make enough batter!
