Recipe Introduction

Happy National Raspberries in Cream Day! There may not be a bad berry-cream combo, but we think that of raspberries and cream is particularly winning as a result of the fruit's pleasantly puckering tartness. A genius at "minimalist home cooking," our beloved Stone soup chef smartly paired the duo with a simple, three-ingredient almond cake, allowing the berry-and-cream combo to shine. In addition to the tantalizing recipe, they also provided a helpful, international guide to creams for those of you less-than-certain about the difference between sour cream and creme fraiche, single cream and whipping cream. Follow their lead, making the fruit-topped cake yourself, or suggest your favorite raspberry-and-cream combos in the comments. Slash Food
