Ingredients for the cake (basic victoria sandwich)
175g butter
175g caster sugar
3 eggs, beaten
175g self raising flour
pinch of salt
Ingerdients to decorate
300g light mascarpone
100g fat-free fromage frais
Raspberry jam
Fresh Strawberries, Raspberries & Blueberries
Method
Pre heat oven to 180C/gas 4.
Line 2 20cm/8 inch sponge tins with baking parchment.
Cream the butter & sugar together until the mixture is pale, light & fluffy.
Add the egg a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift the flour & salt & add to the mixture, folding it in using a metal spoon or spatula.
Divide the mixture between the tins & smooth over.
Bake for 20-25 mins until risen, golden brown & just starting to shrink from the sides of the tins.
Remove from oven & leave to cool in the tins for 5 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Stir the mascarpone into a bowl to soften it, then mix in the fromage frais.
Spread one of the cakes with raspberry jam followed by half of the mascarpone mixture, then top with the other cake.
Stir a little raspberry jam into the other half of the mascarpone mixture, swirl the mixture on top of the cake, the top it off with the strawberries, raspberries & blueberries.
Dust with icing sugar if liked to finish & enjoy
