Raspberry Shortcake




I have a sudden craving for eating raspberry shortcake.  Plus I just finally found the perfect sponge cake recipe that will satiate my cravings.  The moist and fluffy texture of the cake plus the sweet and tart raspberry fluff cream made my day.  I said it made my day, it actually made the kids day.  My two kids ate more than half the cake in one sitting.  The remainder was gone during breakfast.

Instead of the genoise cake recipe, I used a recipe that is more similar to chiffon cake recipe, except melted butter is used instead of vegetable oil.  But the result was really more than my expectation.

My experience with genoise cake is the cake tends to be a little dry.  Syrup and grand marnier are often used to keep the cake moist but I prefer just fluffy, moist cake texture.  So, I am really glad to use this new technique to make this delicious Raspberry Shortcake.
