  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) sugar
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk

For the Raspberry Cream Filling

  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream (chilled)
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (200 g) fresh or frozen raspberries (lightly mashed)

For the Chocolate Ganache Drip

  • 200 ml heavy cream

For Decoration

Instructions

  1. Make the Sponge Cake – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch (20 cm) cake pans. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Alternately mix in dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with flour. Divide batter into pans and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  2. Prepare Raspberry Cream Filling – Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold in mashed raspberries gently to create a pink swirl effect.
  3. Make Ganache – Heat cream until just simmering, then pour over chocolate. Let sit 3 minutes, stir until smooth.
  4. Assemble the Cake – Place the first sponge layer on a plate. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream, followed by raspberry cream. Add the second sponge layer, repeat filling, and top with the third sponge layer. Pour ganache over the top, letting it drip beautifully down the sides.
  5. Decorate – Pipe whipped cream rosettes on top, add fresh raspberries and mint leaves for a fresh finish.
