Prepare 250 grams of FunCakes Mix for Chocolate Sponge Cake as indicated on the package. Grease the baking pan using Bake Release Spray and put the batter into the baking pan. Bake the cake in 30-35 minutes. Release the cake and let it cool down after baking on a cooling grid.
Prepare 100 grams of FunCakes Mix for Crème Patisserie as described on the package. Let the cream set for a while before using.
For the filling you start by beating 250 grams of mascarpone. Then beat 125 ml of cream with a little sugar, but beware; it can easily get to sweet. Fold the mascarpone and the raspberries gently into the cream.
Cut the cake twice using a cake leveller and cover the first layer with custard cream. Then place the second layer on top and cover this one with mascarpone cream. Place the last layer on top and cover the whole cake with a thin layer of cream. Put it in the fridge for a while and apply another layer of cream using a scraper to smoothen the edges.
Fill a decorating bag with the remaining cream and spray some swirls on the cake. Decorate the cake with raspberries, cocoa and chocolate decorations.
