Framboisée: Jewel on your plate.

 Baking and art are the same for me, both of them crate happiness ^^. 

Framboisée

 The different colors in the Pâtisserie, they look like art work of different colors. I always have a good time, just take a look at it (and have a great time If I can taste it, haha).  This time, I saw this cake and well, I fall in love with it ^^, it's so pretty, the red jelly on top is shinning and make this cake seems special. It's the combination of chocolate and raspberry, simple but always good. 
The cake starts from biscuit d'amandes, raspberry ganache (if your family don't like bitter taste you can use 120g of dark chocolate + 35g of milk instead of all dark chocolate), and raspberry buttercream. The raspberry buttercream is actually base on French buttercream but I want the taste of raspberry to be overwhelming, I use raspberry puree instead of water ^^. 
The trickiest part is the jelly, you have to watch it carefully, after boiling let it cool but if it firm up you won't be able to pour it over the cake (you will have to warm it again to melt it), so check it frequently. 
Anyway I had another great time in the kitchen with this cake, haha, it's fun to make, beautiful to look and yes, it's delicious to eat too. So, I have you will enjoy it too ^_-.
