Ingredients
Sponge
- 3 large eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 25 g cornstarch
Topping
- 10 sheets gelatin
- 500 g plain yogurt

- 200 g heavy cream
- 500 g frozen raspberries
- 2 packets red dessert glaze
- 500 ml water
- 4 tablespoons sugar
Preparation
Beat eggs and sugar on high speed for at least 5 minutes until the mixture is light and thick
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection: 160°C)
Line a 26 cm springform pan with parchment paper
Mix flour and cornstarch, then gradually sift into the egg mixture and gently fold in with a spatula
Bake the sponge for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven
Check for doneness by inserting a skewer; it should come out clean
Remove the sponge from the oven and run a knife around the edge to loosen it from the pan
Invert the sponge onto a sheet of parchment paper on a wire rack and let it cool
Soak the gelatin in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes
Whisk the yogurt with sugar until smooth
Squeeze the soaked gelatin to remove excess water and melt it in a small saucepan over low heat
Add 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture to the melted gelatin and stir to combine
Pour the gelatin mixture into the remaining yogurt and stir until well combined
Place the cooled sponge on a cake plate and enclose with a cake ring
Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form
Gently fold the whipped cream into the gelatin-yogurt mixture
Pour the mixture over the sponge and smooth the top with a spatula
Chill the cake for at least 60 minutes
Evenly spread the frozen raspberries over the chilled cake
Prepare the dessert glaze by mixing 500 ml water and 4 tablespoons sugar according to package instructions
Pour the glaze evenly over the raspberries, using a spoon to spread if needed
Chill the cake for at least 1 hour, or until the glaze is set
Run a knife around the edge between the cake and the ring, then carefully remove the ring
