The recipe doesn't mention the mashed pulp or seeds as the goal was a smooth raspberry flavored cream filling. Personally I am going to add the pulp to the cake batter and keep the cream filling a smooth consistency.
Bethany C, You will have to buy fresh (for garnish) and frozen raspberries for this recipe. When you thaw out the frozen berries, they will be super soft and easy to mash up and squish through a metal, fine mesh sieve.
Does any one know how to strain the seed from the raspberries? I love, love, love berries but am unable to eat seeds for health reasons. I would love to make this recipe though if any one could help me know how to strain the seeds from the rest of the pulp. Thank you so much if anyone can help!!!
Awesome tasting cake. Gives a great presentation. I just used the the mashed raspberries in the filling. It is somewhat time consuming but totally worth it.

The recipe never really said what you would do with the mashed rasperries, it just mentioned the juice...I added them into the cornstarch mixture which I later folded into the whipped cream.I substituted strawberries as we prefer them but it turned out to be a beautiful cake.Did anyone else do something different with the mashed berries?It is time consuming, but worth it!!!Gladi
