Framboisier
Framboisier
This is a classic French raspberry-flavoured dessert. It generally consists of raspberries in cream sandwiched between two layers of cake. In this version, the cake is genoa sponge and the cream is vanilla-flavoured and mixed with mascarpone. This is just as good made as a large rectangle or, as here, in smaller round individual servings.

The trick of this recipe is to end up with bananas caramelised on the outside, still firm on the inside, coated with a tasty syrup which is not 95% butter.

  • Hello Daniela,
    No, baking powder is not needed for this recipe (this is the magic of quatre-quarts style cakes).
    But you can add some if you want, this will probably make the cake a bit more "light".
