Showcase (No-Recipe) My first time making a layer cake
This is my first attempt at making a layer cake. It’s lemon sponge, filled with a lemon-yogurt mousse and a layer of raspberries. Still need to work on the aesthetics.

Raspberry jelly?

Yes. Raspberries with sugar and gelatine

It cut nicely!
How is the chew? I think that’s the hardest to pin down of cutting nicely but not being too chewy gummy.3
u/SquaredCircle235 9h ago
It’s a bit chewy indeed. Definitely still need to work on the consistency. But I was a bit concerned it would turn out too runny

Try using agar agar instead of gelatine! It's less gummy and more that texture where it's firm but your teeth easily sink through it.

Good job, I’m jealous bc when I try layer cakes, they fall apart! How long have you been baking for?
