Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different fruit instead of raspberries?
Yes, you can substitute raspberries with other berries like blueberries or strawberries. Just ensure they are roughly the same size to maintain the texture balance.
How should I store the cake?
Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I use regular yoghurt instead of Greek yoghurt?
Greek yoghurt is preferred due to its thicker texture and higher protein content. If using regular yoghurt, consider straining it through a cheesecloth to thicken it.
