Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 50 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 200 g Fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry or apricot)
- 10 g Gelatin powder
- 50 ml Cold water
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
While the gelatin is blooming, place the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the cream mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip.
Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or over a double boiler until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly but do not let it set.
Gradually pour the dissolved gelatin into the whipped cream while gently folding. Ensure the gelatin is evenly incorporated without deflating the whipped cream.
In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk the fruit preserves to make it smooth and spreadable.
To assemble the filling, layer the whipped cream in between the cake layers, spreading it evenly. Alternate cream layers with thin layers of fruit preserves for a tangy twist.
Once all the layers are assembled, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before serving.
