How to Make Raspberry Trifle Cake
- Grease and flour a 20cm springform pan or prepare a similar-sized footed glass bowl.
- Line the base and sides of the pan/bowl with baking paper, extending it 2cm above the edge.
- In a saucepan, combine 250g fresh raspberries, 100g granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup (60ml) water.
- Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and refrigerate until completely cool.
- Set aside 1/4 cup (60ml) of the raspberry syrup to drizzle over the cake layers.
- Cut 10-12 jam rolls (approx 250g total) into five even pieces each. Arrange half the pieces over the base of the prepared pan/bowl.
- Drizzle half of the reserved raspberry syrup over the jam roll layer.
- In a heatproof jug, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water.
- Stand the jug in a pan of simmering water and stir gently until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat 250g mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooled raspberry mixture and the dissolved gelatin mixture to the mascarpone. Stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine 200ml heavy cream and 50g icing sugar.
- Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.
- Spoon the mascarpone mixture evenly over the jam roll layer, smoothing the top. Arrange the remaining jam roll pieces over the filling.
- Drizzle the remaining reserved raspberry syrup over the top layer.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight, or until the filling is completely set.
- Carefully transfer the cake to a serving plate. Brush the top with a little raspberry jam and decorate with 50g shaved dark chocolate (optional).
