The regressive framboisier cake by Philippe Conticini x Jeffrey Cagnes

Chefs Philippe Conticini and Jeffrey Cagnes team up again to give us a delicious cake as fresh as mouthwatering: a Framboisier cake. Both of them worship raspberry and it is timely, we do to! With the heat coming back, a bit of freshness and sourness sounds perfect.

After delighting us with the mouthwatering Babka, it is now the Framboisier cake to be given pride of place. For this creation, the chefs have decided to mix flavors from yesteryear and modernity.

So, perhaps are you wondering what makes this framboisier cake so special? First off, enjoy the very moist Genoa sponge cake with marzipan, flaky salt and chopped caramelized almonds for a lot of indulgence. Tradition calls framboisier cake to be flavored with kirsch. This is this old-fashioned and slightly sour taste the chefs tried to add to their creation.

Therefore, cherry is in to bring a bit of nostalgy. Add the strength of lime, and there you go. The whole is even and supports the taste of raspberry well, as it is the key element of this creation with a confit core. The whole taken up a notch with a hearty quantity of fresh raspberries and cherries.

To make it soft and creamy, the cake is stuffed with light and intense Madagascan Bourbon vanilla mousseline cream. As light as a cuddle – Conticini would say. Through a dehydration process of raspberries, Cagnes adds a contemporary touch with 60% marzipan – that is originally resolutely regressive.

A few fresh raspberries and cherries and an almond cake to perfect it all, and this is a genuine journey back to one’s childhood provided by chefs Conticini and Cagnes.

When tasting it, the framboisier cake tastes like no other. We love the indulgence of the cake, the freshness and sourness of the fruits, the confit and the vanilla mousseline that seems to be a kiss to the taste buds. So good!
