Operation birthday cake

So as you know from yesterday's post today's challenge is to make hubby a bday cake. So that I could indulge guilt free and hubby could still enjoy a yummy cake I decided to go with 12wbt raspberry sponge

Stage 1 - cook the cake

A little flat but still they are not pancakes. When stacked on top of each other they'll be fine. 

Now to do the filling. Saw a few comments online that people's filling was a bit runny. Mine was no exception. I blame the ricotta. If I make this again I will just omit ricotta and just use Philly. I ended up doubling the Philly and doubling the icing sugar to make it a consistency I could work with. Yummy yummy fresh raspberries finish it..... And ta da! 

Fingers crossed it tastes as good as it looks :)
