How to Make the White Sponge Cake:

  • Separate the egg yolk from the white. Whisk the yolks well with the sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, starch, baking powder, and vanilla.
  • Add some flour and hot water to the whipped egg yolk and continue whisking.
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg whites well, adding a pinch of salt.
  • Add the egg white to the other ingredients in batches of two or three and mix together in one direction only with a spatula.
  • Put a mold on a tray and pour the mortar into the mold. Knock the tray on the worktop a few times to knock the air out of it.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ℃ (356 ℉) for 40 minutes.
  • Don’t open the open door at all before the 40 minutes, and then check with a knife. If it’s cooked, take it out of the oven and leave to cool.

How to Make the Pastry Cream:

  • Whisk the flour, starch, sugar, egg yolk, and milk in a pan with a mixer.
  • Cook on a low heat until it reaches the consistency of a pudding.
  • Removing from the stove, add the margarine and vanilla and beat for 10 minutes. Let it rest overnight.

How to Make the Butter Cream:

  • Put the room-temperature butter in a the mixer bowl and whisk until it becomes creamy.
  • Sift the powdered sugar and gradually added it to the butter and whip for 7 minutes.

How to Prepare the Fruits:

  • Take the cake out of the oven and let it sit for 3-4 minutes. Then, run a fine spatula around the edge of the mold and remove the cake. Leave to cool on a wire rack. Then, take off the baking paper and cut the cake across the circumference into three layers.
  • Wet the layers with milk. Spread them with cream and sprinkle with raspberries and chocolate drops. Lay the three layers one on top of the other.
  • Cover the top and sides with cream and let it rest for at least 3-4 hours.
  • Decorate the cake with chocolate and forest fruits.
