    Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl (with the exception of 175 g of the water) fitted with a beater, and mix for 1 minute on slow speed, then a further 3 minutes on medium speed. Then add the rest of the water, scrape down and mix for 2 minutes on slow speed.

  2. Bake: Deposit 550 g of the cake batter into 3 x prepared 8" pans.

  3. Bake: Bake in a deck oven at 180 °C for 25-30 minutes.

  4. Assemble: Trim the 3 sponges (if needed).

  5. Assemble: Layer the 3 cooled cakes together with a thin spread of the Raspberry Deli Fruit topped with the Peach Melba Frosting.

  6. Assemble: Add some Raspberry Compound to the Vanilla Frosting (50 g compound to 1000 g frosting) and mix thoroughly.

  7. Assemble: Pipe Peach Melba Frosting on top of the cake, then alternate bands of Peach Melba Frosting and the prepared Raspberry Frosting on the sides of the cake.

  8. Assemble: Smooth out the top and sides of the cake to achieve a marbled effect.
