If the white cream and fresh raspberries on top are not enough to get your mouth drooling, the soft raspberry mouse filling certainly will. I’m not quite sure what part of it is “Russe” but i’ll have a slice anyway!

What I love about Charlotte cakes is every person who makes who has their own style, their own way of making them. Some make it more of a ‘dessert cake’ and others like this recipe tend to stick to its trifle traditional roots. Its like expressionism in dessert cake form.

As if the tiramisu mouse inside of the cake wasn’t good enough, each sponge finger is dipped in chocolate and left to harden in the fridge. It just makes you want to peal one off and dip it into the cakes filling.
