Raspberry Ginger Fridge Cake Recipes

RASPBERRY & GINGER FRIDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Using an electric whisk, beat the cream to soft peaks, then fold in the vanilla extract and chopped preserved ginger.
• Arrange about 5-6 biscuits (depending on their size) in a circle on a serving plate, then fill the gap in the centre with more biscuits. Spoon a layer of the whipped cream in blobs onto each biscuit and dot over some raspberries, pushing them into the cream. Add another, smaller circle of biscuits in a layer, and add more cream and raspberries. Repeat until you have used all the cream and biscuits, then decorate with any remaining raspberries.
• Put the cake in the fridge to chill for at least 3 hrs. To test if the cake is ready to serve, poke a skewer into the biscuits in the centre. Once they're soft enough to cut, the cake is ready. Drizzle over some ginger syrup just before serving, if you like.

RASPBERRY-LEMON ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice and zest. Beat until creamy and well blended. Add the raspberries and use a rubber spatula to smash and stir them into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
• Line a 9x3-inch loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper long enough to hang over the sides (this will act as a sling to lift out the cake when it's ready to serve).
• Arrange 8 gingersnaps in a single layer in the bottom of the pan. Spread one third of the filling over the cookies. Repeat this process twice with the remaining cookies and cream, making three layers in all.
• Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours, and preferably overnight. When ready to serve, lift the cake out of the pan and cut into slices.
