• Make the raspberry sauce: Put the frozen raspberries, the salt and sugar in a blender and puree on high until pureed.
• Press through a fine mesh strainer.
• Set aside.
• (If you can't find unsweetened frozen raspberries, use the sweetened ones but don't add any sugar until after you puree them, then taste, then add sugar to taste).
• Using a serrated knife, cut the cake into 4 even rectangles.
• Slice each piece in half horizontally, making 8 pieces total.
• ASSEMBLY: Reserve 1/2 cup of the rasberry puree, and 1/2 pint of the fresh raspberries for garnish.
• Place one-quarter of the remaining raspberry sauce in the bottom of the baking pan.
• Top with a little more than a cup of the Grand Marnier Sabayon.
• Cover the sabayon with a layer of cake (the cake doesn't have to be in one piece, it can be pieced together, as long as it covers the bottom of the pan).

• Whatever works.
• The cake part isn't really going to show, so it doesn't matter, as long as you have enough cake to cover the pan for 3 thinnish layers.
• NOTE 3: You can sub in blueberries, strawberries, cherries, or whatever kind of berry suit your fancy.
• And it may seem rich, but it is very light tasting.
