Lemon Cake
- Sift the flour with the baking powder; set aside. Using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs with the sugar and salt on high speed until fluffy. Reduce the speed and add the sour cream, melted butter, citrus zests, Limoncello, and flour. Mix until combined. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan, filling it two-thirds full to leave enough room for the cake to expand and rise as it bakes.
Baking
- Preheat a fan oven to 350°F / 160°C. Bake the lemon cake for 45 minutes, or until the blade of a knife comes out clean. Let the cake rest for 10 minutes. Prick the cake with a bamboo skewer and pour the syrup over it in several stages. Let it sit for 20 minutes, then carefully unmold and chill to set/harden.
Syrup
- Bring the water, sugar, and lemon juice to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes, then let cool. Use at room temperature.
Raspberry Mousse
- Soak the gelatin in cold water to soften, then drain. Bring the heavy cream to a boil. Add the hot heavy cream to the chocolate and mix with an immersion blender. Add the softened gelatin along with the remaining but chilled heavy cream. Add the raspberries and lemon juice; blend well. Chill overnight before whipping.
Assembly
- Line a cake ring with plastic acetate or parchment paper. Cut the lemon cake into nineteen strips. Arrange the cake strips tightly inside the cake ring. Cut a round piece of cake for the bottom. Whip the raspberry mousse to medium-firm peaks. Pipe some of the filling onto the bottom cake layer and spread it evenly. Smooth the edges with the back of a spoon. Scatter some chopped strawberries over the filling. Add more filling and additional lemon cake slices. Chill overnight or freeze for 2 hours. Decorate with an assortment of fresh fruits and mint leaves. Enjoy!
