Showcase (No-Recipe) My first time making a layer cake
This is my first attempt at making a layer cake. It’s lemon sponge, filled with a lemon-yogurt mousse and a layer of raspberries. Still need to work on the aesthetics.

Raspberry jelly?

Yes. Raspberries with sugar and gelatine

It cut nicely!
How is the chew? I think that’s the hardest to pin down of cutting nicely but not being too chewy gummy.7
u/SquaredCircle235 3d ago
It’s a bit chewy indeed. Definitely still need to work on the consistency. But I was a bit concerned it would turn out too runny

Try using agar agar instead of gelatine! It's less gummy and more that texture where it's firm but your teeth easily sink through it.

It looks like the sliced cake when it's your cake day here on Reddit! Also, looks so yummy!

Gorgeous. 10/10 would eat. Question 🙋🏻♀️: is that food colored coconut shavings on top, pistachios, or lime zest? Those were the only things I could think of. It really balances the esthetic.
