Raspberry and chocolate charlotte: Cute and delicious cake

 Because baking make me happy, not only the moment while making it but when my family enjoy it too ^^.

I know that someone will  at me, if I tell the truth that I made this cake because my niece love everything made from whipping cream, hehe. I try to make it small, and when I cut the cake for her, I cut a small piece too. My happiest moment is when she's eating it and telling me that she love it!
You don't have to make the ladyfinger by yourself, (but if you want you can), the commercial ladyfingers make make your life easier and the look is good.
For the bottom of the cake you can use other sponge cake recipe or you can use the ladyfingers too. If using the ladyfingers for the base you have to make sure that you sprinkle the syrup enough, or the base will be dry.
Serve it with a cup of hot tea will be great, the cake is very rich so you need something to cut it down.
