Raspberry charlotte

The cream-filled sponge cake is revived to suit modern tastes.

With step-by-step photos, you can master Raspberry Charlotte Cake! A Charlotte Russe Dessert with layers of raspberry mousse, lady fingers and fluffy cake.

French Strawberry Charlotte cake consists of fluffy ladyfingers filled with silky Crème mousseline, and delicious fresh strawberries.

Food & Wine's best Christmas desserts include peppermint bark, holiday trifles, a bûche de noël, a pavlova wreath, and gingerbread, plus more holiday treats recipes we love.

My week 7 review and bake is a bit late as I've been in Hong Kong for the past 2 weeks (more on my trip coming soon!) This week The Great British Bake Off changed up the theme again with a Victorian episode.

You can adapt the Charlotte to any flavour you love (or any flavour you happen to have lying around) and you can make it as simple or as fancy as your heart desires.

A beautiful French Charlotte, filled with a creamy raspberry and pistachio bavaroise, makes for an elegant cake to finish a fancy meal at home with or simply eaten as an afternoon cake.

Here's a delicious do-ahead dessert, a showstopper designed for serving a crowd.

...and a Strawberry Charlotte Russe for dessert...but there was something special about the eye-catching dessert that lingered in my mind for years...
