Raspberry Shortcake

It’s always a daunting task to reinvent a much-loved classic, but this Raspberry Shortcake recipe is a complete triumph.

If you’re a fan of traditional strawberry shortcakes, this recipe offers a couple of very nice variations worth trying.

One is that it uses a combination of wholemeal and white flour for the shortcakes. You also make your own jammy raspberry filling, from raspberries and sugar instead of the usual strawberry filling. And finally, the recipe suggests using mascarpone instead of cream.

Fresh or frozen berries work equally well, and you can adjust the sweetness of the raspberry jam by controlling the sugar quantities.

I’m already plotting a blackberry version of this recipe!
