Raspberry Ginger Fridge Cake Recipes

RASPBERRY & GINGER FRIDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Using an electric whisk, beat the cream to soft peaks, then fold in the vanilla extract and chopped preserved ginger.
• Arrange about 5-6 biscuits (depending on their size) in a circle on a serving plate, then fill the gap in the centre with more biscuits. Spoon a layer of the whipped cream in blobs onto each biscuit and dot over some raspberries, pushing them into the cream. Add another, smaller circle of biscuits in a layer, and add more cream and raspberries. Repeat until you have used all the cream and biscuits, then decorate with any remaining raspberries.
• Put the cake in the fridge to chill for at least 3 hrs. To test if the cake is ready to serve, poke a skewer into the biscuits in the centre. Once they're soft enough to cut, the cake is ready. Drizzle over some ginger syrup just before serving, if you like.

• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Dissolve raspberry gelatin in the boiling water and add the frozen raspberries, stirring until melted. Chill until partially set and spread on wafer base.

FRESH RASPBERRY ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• Stir mascarpone cheese; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Reserve 1/2 cup cream; cover and refrigerate. Add lemon zest and mascarpone to remaining whipped cream; beat until stiff peaks form, 30-60 seconds., On a serving plate, spread 1/2 cup of the cream mixture in a 7-in.-diameter circle. Arrange 6 cookies in a circle on top of the cream, placing a seventh cookie in the center. Gently fold 4 cups of raspberries into remaining cream mixture. Spoon about 1 cup raspberry cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat layers 6 times, ending with cookies (there will be 8 cookie layers in all). Spread reserved whipped cream over cookies; top with remaining raspberries. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
