Method

  • step 1

    Using an electric whisk, beat the cream to soft peaks, then fold in the vanilla extract and chopped preserved ginger.

  • step 2

    Arrange about 5-6 biscuits (depending on their size) in a circle on a serving plate, then fill the gap in the centre with more biscuits. Spoon a layer of the whipped cream in blobs onto each biscuit and dot over some raspberries, pushing them into the cream. Add another, smaller circle of biscuits in a layer, and add more cream and raspberries. Repeat until you have used all the cream and biscuits, then decorate with any remaining raspberries.

  • step 3

    Put the cake in the fridge to chill for at least 3 hrs. To test if the cake is ready to serve, poke a skewer into the biscuits in the centre. Once they’re soft enough to cut, the cake is ready. Drizzle over some ginger syrup just before serving, if you like.

I made this for Father's Day lunch today. Very simple to put together and tasted delicious. I would definitely make it again, although I would include more stem ginger next time.

Are you serious? That looks appalling. Wouldn't dream of giving that to anyone.

I'm thinking of doing it in a bowl. but yes i agree this would be a nightmare to serve!
