There's definitely something for the eyes today! This "raspberry dream" does not bear its name for nothing and impresses with many "healthy" ingredients, an alternative sweetness and its fruity refinement. The cake looks more sinful than it actually is, so you can take a second piece here ... without a bad conscience. And one more thing on top: For this great cake you also need no oven at all!
