- 350gAsda Best for Baking Cakes spread, plus extra for greasing
- 350gCaster sugar
- 6xLarge eggs
- 350gSelf-raising flour
- 325gLight mascarpone
- 100gFat-free fromage frais
- 200gAsda Rasberry Seedless Jam
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line 3 x 20cm round cake tins.
Beat the spread and sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding 1tbsp of the flour with each of the last two eggs. Fold in the remaining flour.
Divide the cake mixture between the tins. Bake for 25-30 mins, or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed. Turn out of the tins and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
Stir the mascarpone in a bowl to soften, then mix in the fromage frais. Spread one cake with a third of the jam followed by a third of the mascarpone mixture, then top with another cake. Spread with another third each of the jam and the mascarpone mixture, then top with the last cake.
Stir the remaining jam to loosen. Fold it gently into the remaining mascarpone mixture to create a ripple effect.
Top the cake with the ripple mascarpone.
Et voilà. It’s ready to eat!
