Ingredients
600ml double or whipping cream
1 ball preserved ginger in syrup, finely chopped, syrup reserved
250g raspberries
400g ginger biscuits
1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
Method
-
Using an electric whisk, beat the cream to soft peaks, then fold in the chopped preserved ginger and the vanilla extract.
-
Arrange about five or six 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 with some raspberries, pushing them into the cream. Add another, smaller circle of biscuits in a layer, then add more cream and raspberries. Repeat until you’ve used all the cream and biscuits, then decorate with any remaining raspberries.
-
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 if they’re soft enough to cut, the cake is ready. Drizzle over some ginger syrup just before serving, if you like.
