Ingredients

• 500 ml Heavy whipping cream
• 50 g Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 200 g Fruit preserves (e.g., raspberry or apricot)
• 10 g Gelatin powder
• 50 ml Cold water

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 2

While the gelatin is blooming, place the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the cream mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip.

Step 4

Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or over a double boiler until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly but do not let it set.

Step 5

Gradually pour the dissolved gelatin into the whipped cream while gently folding. Ensure the gelatin is evenly incorporated without deflating the whipped cream.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk the fruit preserves to make it smooth and spreadable.

Step 7

To assemble the filling, layer the whipped cream in between the cake layers, spreading it evenly. Alternate cream layers with thin layers of fruit preserves for a tangy twist.

Step 8

Once all the layers are assembled, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before serving.
