Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a 13x9 inch baking pan aluminum foil.
Step 2
With a whisk attachment on a standing mixer or using a hand mixer and a large bowl, mix the
Eggs (6)
and
Granulated Sugar (200 g)
on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the
Sour Cream (360 g)
. Dissolve the
Baking Soda (7 g)
in
Distilled White Vinegar (5 mL)
and also add to the cake batter. Mix to combine.
Step 4
Add the
All-Purpose Flour (185 g)
and mix until incorporated. The batter will still be on the thinner side.
Step 5
Pour into prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Bake for about 30 minutes until cake springs back to the touch and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 7
Cool slightly, just until you can handle it. Tear the cake into pieces. This is the fun part! The cake should be almost cool when you're done tearing it apart, but if it isn't, just set aside until it's completely cool.
Step 8
Meanwhile, make the frosting. With a paddle attachment on a standing mixer or using a hand mixer, mix the
Cream Cheese (225 g)
until it has a creamy and even consistency.
Step 9
Add the
Sweetened Condensed Milk (1 can)
. Mix to combine. Add the
Sour Cream (1 tub)
and
Vanilla Extract (10 mL)
and also mix to combine.
Step 10
In another chilled bowl with a chilled whisk attachment, whip the
Heavy Cream (240 mL)
until stiff but still somewhat soft peaks form.
Step 11
Gently fold the whipped cream into the rest of the frosting with a rubber spatula. When the cake is cool, pour in part of the frosting and mix.
Step 12
Keep adding more frosting until all of the cake is completely covered in frosting, but don't add too much or the cake will be mushy. Set aside the remaining frosting to spread over the assembled cake. Add the
Fresh Raspberries (250 g)
and VERY GENTLY mix to combine.
Step 13
You can form the cake into any shape that you like – circle, square, etc. You can also use the sides of a springform pan to help you shape it, by placing the rim on top of the serving plate, putting the cake inside the springform and then taking the springform off.
Step 14
Cover with the remaining frosting and decorate with chocolate shavings, chocolate glaze, berries, nuts or whatever else you like.
