Charlotte’s story
Charlotte is a very tasty, elegant looking and easy to prepare summer cake that is quite popular in France. Its core is creamy fruit mousse, bordered all around with ladyfingers. It is really a very light cake, and great for pairing with different fruits. I’ve prepared my first version with mango and it came out very well. The second version was with rhubarb and raspberries; that recipe I will share with you another time. For now, enjoy this mango charlotte decorated with raspberries.
