Ingredients

For the cake:

200 g unsalted butter, soft

200 g caster sugar

1 packet of vanilla–flavored sugar

zest of 2 lemons

5 eggs

300 g self–raising flour

Pinch of coarse sea salt

1 tbsp icing sugar

For the topping:

3 dl milk

2 dl sweet condensed milk

2 dl buttermilk

1 packet of vanilla–flavored sugar

250 g raspberries

55 g jam sugar

3 dl cream

1 tbsp vanilla sugar

      

Recipe

Make the cake:

Preheat the oven to 160  C.

Cover a springform pan with a diameter of 30 cm with a sheet of baking paper.

Mix the butter together with coarse sea salt, sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add the lemon zest to the batter. Add the eggs one by one to the batter and mix until smooth. Sift the self–raising flour into the batter and mix again.

Bake the cake in a preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes. Check with a skewer whether the cake is done: if no wet dough sticks to the skewer, it is done.

Remove the cake from the spring form and let it cool completely.

Make the topping:

Mix the milk, condensed milk, buttermilk and the sachet of vanilla sugar carefully. Pour over the cake and let it steep in the fridge for about 2 hours.

Keep a few raspberries aside for finishing and put the rest in a saucepan with the jam sugar. Cook for a few minutes so that the fruit becomes soft and viscous. Set aside for a while and let cool.

In the meantime, whisk the cream half with a spoonful of vanilla sugar and set aside for a while.

Finish:

Spread the raspberry jam on the cake and spoon the cream over it.

Cut the rest of the raspberries in half and finish the cake. Dust with some icing sugar and serve immediately.
