    In the meantime defrost the raspberries, up to 50 g. Soak gelatine in cold water. Puree 300 g defrosted raspberries and lemon juice and pass through a sieve. Mix raspberry puree and 100 g sugar. Squeeze 5 sheets of gelatine, dissolve and mix with the raspberry puree. Chill for about 10 minutes. Whip 300 g cream until stiff and fold into the raspberry puree. Drain 150 g thawed raspberries well. Cut the sponge cake once and place a cake ring around the bottom cake base. Put half of the raspberry cream on top, sprinkle with raspberries and spread with the rest of the cream. Cover with the second sponge cake base and chill. Dissolve 3 sheets of gelatine and mix with advocaat. Whip 250 g cream and vanillin sugar until stiff. Finally, fold in the advocaat. Spread the advocaat cream on the second cake base so that a slight hollow is created in the middle. Put the cake in a cool place for about 2 hours.
