What ingredients are needed to make raspberry coffee cake?
To make this cake, you will need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of products and possible substitutes.
- raspberries – you can use both fresh and frozen fruit – I used frozen raspberries. You don’t need to thaw such frozen raspberries beforehand, which will make the jelly cool down and set faster.
- mascarpone – this is a creamy Italian cheese, you can easily find it in every Lidl, Biedronka, and larger supermarkets.
- heavy cream – I used UHT 30% cream in a carton, you can also use 36% cream.
- chocolate – I prefer less sweet cakes, so I used dark chocolate. If you prefer sweeter cakes, you can slightly sweeten the chocolate-coffee cream with powdered sugar, or you can also swap dark chocolate for milk chocolate.
- instant coffee – powdered coffee will be better here than granulated because it’s easier to blend, but granulated should also work. If children are going to eat the cake and you don’t want to use coffee, you can omit it entirely or substitute it with grain coffee – like Inka.
How to store raspberry-coffee cake?
The cake is best stored in the refrigerator – due to the creams, but it can also safely stay out for a few hours if it’s not too hot. After preparation, it’s worth chilling the cake for several hours so that the layers set well and the biscuits at the bottom of the cake soften and are easier to cut.
How many calories does raspberry coffee cake have?
In the table below the recipe, I provided the calorie count for 100 g of cake. If you divide the cake into approximately 20 equal portions, each slice will have about 302 kcal (carbohydrates – 19 g, fats – 24 g, proteins – 3 g). So, for a creamy cake, I think this is a very decent calorie count, and everyone can enjoy a slice without guilt :)
If you try the recipe, I would be very happy if you share your impressions in a comment below the recipe. I also strongly encourage you to try my other raspberry recipes. There is a huge selection of them on the blog, and you will surely find the perfect recipe for yourself :)
