Encased in a simple sponge, this raspberry jelly and cream flummery is tart and sweet and perfect for an indulgent dessert.
Ingredients
- 85g raspberry jelly crystals
- 300ml thickened cream
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 3/4 cup plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 punnet raspberries
- Icing sugar, to dust
Method
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 160C (fan-forced). Grease and line a shallow 25cm x 30cm lamington pan, leaving some overhanging baking paper.
-
Step 2Place jelly crystals in a small bowl. Add 1 cup (250ml) boiling water and stir to dissolve. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until cold and just starting to set.
-
Step 3In the bowl of a stand mixer or using hand-held beaters, whip cream until just starting to thicken. Add partially set jelly and continue beating for 4-5 minutes until thick. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
Step 4To make sponge, in a stand mixer or using handheld beaters, whisk eggs, sugar and vanilla for 5 minutes until thick and creamy. Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl then carefully fold in until just combined. Pour into prepared tin and smooth out evenly. Bake for 12 minutes.
-
Step 5Remove from oven. Lay a clean tea towel on your workbench. Carefully lift sponge from tray using overhanging baking paper and place it on tea towel. Gently pull the sides of the baking paper away from the sponge so it is laying flat. Working with a short end with the baking paper still beneath the sponge, roll into a tight roll, then roll that into the tea towel. Leave to cool completely.
-
Step 6Once cool, gently unroll the sponge and peel the baking paper away from the base. Place sponge onto another large, clean sheet of baking paper. Working with the short end nearest you, spread raspberry flummery evenly over the sponge, leaving the furthest 2cm clear. Distribute fresh raspberries over the flummery. Using the baking paper, carefully roll up the sponge to encase the filling. Twist the ends of the baking paper to keep the roll firmly in place then place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set completely.
-
Step 7When you are ready to serve, remove from fridge and place on a serving board. Dust with icing sugar. Slice and serve.
Recipe Notes
+ 1 hour refrigeration.
Don’t let the raspberry jelly set too firmly before adding it to the cream otherwise you'll end up with jelly blobs throughout the cream. It should be cold and slightly thick, but not solid.
