Notes

Serve chilled and garnished with extra fresh raspberries or a drizzle of raspberry puree. Pairs well with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter and avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cracks.
