Maria’s Raspberry Dream

When my friend Maria visits me, she always spoils us with wonderful sweet bakes that taste great and, ideally, are easy and relatively quick to prepare.

This sheet cake is one of my favorites and is always a big hit. Have fun baking it, and I hope it turns out great.

Teig für ein Backblech (mit Rahmen):

• 200 g sugar
• 5 egg yolks, 5 egg whites
• 1/8 l oil
• 1/4 l water
• 200 g wheat flour
• 1 packet baking powder
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• a little rum

Recipe for Raspberry Cream:

• 350–400 g water
• 50 g sugar
• 2 packets vanilla pudding powder
• 500–600 g frozen raspberries or blackberries

Recipe for the topping:

• 200 g curd (quark)
• 500 g whipping cream
• 3 packets Sahnesteif (or Quimic)

For the topping:

• 1–2 packages of butter cookies

Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for about 30 min (skewer test).

DOUGH:

Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Beat the sugar and egg yolks until fluffy. Slowly stir in the oil. Add the sifted flour, baking powder, and remaining ingredients to the batter; finally, fold in the beaten egg whites and spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet.

Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 170 / 175 degrees for about 30 minutes, then let it cool completely. Next, spread a thin layer of apricot jam on top before adding the raspberry cream.

RASPBERRY CREAM:

Mix the water, pudding mix, and sugar well, then bring to a boil briefly until the mixture thickens. Immediately remove from the heat and stir the frozen raspberries into the hot mixture. Spread the raspberry cream onto the cake crust.

CREAM:

Whip the cream with the Sahnesteif or Quimic; once the cream is stiff, mix in the remaining ingredients and carefully spread over the raspberry cream.

Finally, top the cake with butter cookies and let it set in the refrigerator for a few hours. It’s wonderful for warm summer days. It also tastes great with blueberries.

Good luck and have fun trying this out. Katharina from the Zittrauerhof
