Raspberry sponge cake is a delicate and airy treat rooted in Ukrainian cuisine, where the freshness of berries is combined with rich creamy fillings. Its soft texture comes from the light sponge, while the taste is a refined balance of sweetness and tartness brought by raspberries. The gentle mascarpone, cream, and sour cream add a velvety smoothness to the cake, making each bite truly melt in your mouth. This dessert is perfect for summer celebrations and cozy family tea times. Decorated with fresh berries, it becomes not only delicious but also aesthetically pleasing with its vibrant colors. After a few hours in the fridge, all flavors and textures meld together to create a harmonious treat that can captivate any sweet tooth.
