I was so excited to make my own cake recipe today!

Yogi Charlotte Cake a.k.a Summer Berry Charlotte Cake

Well all roads lead to Rome, with me all reasons led me to create this version of a charlotte.

My bf Chomchom loves charlotte and always is craving for a trifle, while I should be busy digging in my thesis and find making sponge cake and custard to fill a real English trifle is too much to do at this particular moment.

How about a charlotte – trifle combination?

So that was my initial idea, I used my ‘precious’ charlotte mould bought by my bf’s mom ( I really like it, imagine how she carefully chose it for me, it had beautiful shape and where the lid is supposed to be, it can be different shapes, including a heart, a star, a tulip or a Xmas tree. It’s difficult to show you with only words, you’ll see what I meant later by looking at a star-shaped charlotte that I got from the mould.

As usual I first lined the mould with a layer of ladyfingers which had been dipped in syrup and rum, ( I love using alcohol in both cooking and baking, and my bf always asks for more) then filled half of the mould with a layer of strawberry mousse with fresh strawberries and a layer of ladyfingers, followed by a layer of blueberry mousse with fresh blueberries and closed with a layer of ladyfingers. Phew it sounds wordy but it’s really in an order, isn’t it?! Let’s refrigerate it in 4 hours and here it is, what I called a Yogi Charlotte Cake, the name of which was inspired by my bf (YogiN).

I was so in a rush to cut the cake, it might not look perfect but the taste is very refreshing!
