Mixing bowls
Whisk
Spatula
Cake pan
Saucepan
Refrigerator
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 120 ml buttermilk
- 1 tsp vinegar
- q.s. red food coloring just enough to make it pop
- 225 g cream cheese softened
- 115 g white chocolate melted
- 250 ml whipped cream
- 1 tbsp gelatin
- 240 ml red fruit juice (raspberry or cranberry works well)
- 25 g granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp gelatin
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, and sugar.
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vinegar, and red food coloring.
Combine the wet and dry mixtures until smooth.
Pour the batter into a lined cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare the cheesecake layer by blending softened cream cheese with melted white chocolate until smooth.
Fold in the whipped cream gently to keep it light and airy.
Add the gelatin to the cheesecake mixture and pour it over the cooled cake, smoothing it out.
Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
For the fruit topping, heat the red fruit juice and sugar in a saucepan until dissolved.
Stir in the gelatin and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the cheesecake layer.
Let it set in the fridge for another hour before serving.
Use room-temperature ingredients for smoother mixing. Don’t skip the chilling time—it’s crucial for setting. Dress it up with fresh berries, mint leaves, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation. Store in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days or freeze individual slices wrapped tightly for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
