  1. 1

    Defrost the raspberries. Separate eggs. Beat the egg whites and 3 tablespoons of cold water until stiff, adding 100 g of sugar. Stir in egg yolk. Mix flour, starch, almonds and baking powder and fold in. Spread the mixture on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 8 minutes. Remove the sponge cake from the oven, take it off the baking tray and let it cool down on a cake rack.

    Soak gelatine in cold water. Mix sour cream, vanillin sugar and 50 g sugar. Squeeze the gelatine and melt it in a small saucepan. Stir in 3 tablespoons of cream, then stir into the remaining cream. Drain some raspberries and fold in. Chill the cream until it starts to gel. Whip cream until stiff and fold in. Remove the sponge cake from the paper and cut in half crosswise. Place a cake frame around one half and spread with the cream. Place the other half of the sponge cake on top and chill for 3-4 hours. Knead 200 g marzipan and icing sugar. Colour 2/3 of the mixture pink. Halve the remaining marzipan.
