A no-bake cake is easy for everyone and is great for hot days. The refreshing, fruity filling on a base of ladyfingers replaces traditional baked goods, adding lightness to the afternoon treat. When I serve it to my family and friends, everyone immediately asks for a slice, even if they had previously declared that they had no room for dessert. Looking at this delicious marvel, it's impossible to refuse a piece.

No-bake blueberry and raspberry cake

This unique cake combines a creamy texture, fruity freshness, and at the same time amazes with its appearance. Chilled and served straight from the fridge, it is a great idea for a dessert in a summer edition.

Preparation Method:

Step 1. I line the bottom of the springform pan with baking paper and arrange a layer of round ladyfingers. I mix the icing sugar with 55 millilitres of water and lemon juice. I soak the ladyfingers with the resulting punch.

Step 3. In the meantime, I blend the washed raspberries and blueberries separately. Then I strain through a sieve so that the fruit filling is smooth and free of small seeds.

Step 6. I add a few tablespoons of the creamy mixture to the gelatin and mix. I gradually add the resulting mixture to the remaining part of the mass and mix everything. I divide the mass into two parts. I add strained raspberries to one part and blueberries to the other and mix.

Step 7. I pour the raspberry mass onto the ladyfinger base and put it in the fridge for about 2 hours until it sets. Then, I pour the blueberry mass and chill again. I decorate the finished no-bake cake with mint leaves and fresh fruits. Enjoy!
