A summer hit made from three delicious components
The raspberry sour cream cake tastes really summery and is a real taste hit on warm days. The pound cake base is very fluffy and soft. It combines ideally with the delicate sour cream filling. The cake is completed by the fruity raspberry filling with its sweet and sour taste.
True eye-catcher with three colorful layers
The cake base in yellow, the sour cream filling in white and the raspberry jelly in red – with the three colorful layers, the raspberry sour cream cake is a real eye-catcher and guaranteed to enchant everyone at the dining table. This makes it perfect not only for dessert during the week or on the weekend for your loved ones, but also for a party with lots of guests.
Replace raspberries with other fruits
Instead of raspberries, you can also make this sour cream cake with other fruits. For example, how about cherries, strawberries, currants or blueberries? Both fresh and frozen berries will work. If you use fresh fruits, you don’t have to heat them beforehand to let them thaw, but add the mixture of sugar and pectin directly to them and then bring them to a boil.
What can I use instead of pectin?
Apple pectin in the raspberry filling ensures that it remains stable. When buying pectin, make sure it is pure apple pectin without sugar or other additives. Study the ingredient list on the packaging. Alternatively, you can use red cake glaze or the vegetable gelling agent agar-agar instead of pectin. In this case, prepare the fruit filling according to the instructions for the cake glaze or agar-agar.
