How to Make Raspberry Yogurt Mousse Cake
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely in the pan.

While the cake cools, prepare the raspberry yogurt mousse. In a blender, puree the raspberries until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and powdered sugar, then fold in the whipped cream until smooth. Gently fold in the raspberry puree and dissolved gelatin until well combined.

Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half horizontally to create two layers. Place one layer back into the cake pan, and spread half of the raspberry yogurt mousse over the top. Place the second layer of cake on top and spread the remaining mousse over the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and enjoy this light and refreshing dessert!

Tips:

• Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved before adding it to the mousse mixture.
• For a stronger raspberry flavor, you can add more raspberry puree to the mousse.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Use other berries, like strawberries or blueberries, for a different flavor.
• Substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan version.
• Add a splash of lemon juice for extra tanginess in the mousse.

Make a Healthier Version:

• Use low-fat yogurt and whipped cream for a lighter dessert.
• Reduce the sugar in the mousse for a less sweet option while still enjoying the fruity flavor.
