Steps:
- Heat oven to 190c/fan 170c/gas 5. Butter 2 x 20cm sandwich tins and line each with a circle of baking parchment. In a large bowl, beat together all the cake ingredients until you have a smooth, soft mixture. Spoon the mixture equally into the two tins, smoothing over the top of each with the back of the spoon. Bake in the oven for 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when gently pressed. Turn the cakes onto a cooling rack.
- Heat the sugar, 2 tbsp water and Disaronno together until the sugar has dissolved. Leave to cool, about 10 mins. Use a large serrated knife to cut each cake in half. Brush the syrup all over all four pieces of cake with a pastry brush.
- For the filling, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Beat the mascarpone and caster sugar in a large bowl to loosen, then fold in the cream and mix together until smooth.
- Spoon a third of the cream mixture over one of the cake halves. Scatter over some of the fruit (you don't want to cover the cake), then sandwich another half on top. Spread with cream and fruit as before and top with another half of cake and more cream and berries. Lay the final cake half on top. Gently press down, then wrap tightly in cling film and leave in the fridge overnight. To stop the cream from melting, this cake needs to be transported to the picnic in a cooler box. At the picnic, carefully remove clingfilm and dust with icing sugar to decorate, if you like.

RASPBERRY CAKES WITH LAVENDER
These are extremely tasteful and delicate cakes which are perfect for tea-parties or girls' birthdays. I invented them for my birthday, so I would know. The lavender syrup is easy to make. Mix one tablespoon of, preferably fresh, lavender flowers with 5-6 tablespoons of sugar and a little water. Cook over a low heat until it transforms to syrup. Stray the syrup and leave it to cool down. You can store it in a cup in the fridge for couple of months. If you do not have time to prepare the raspberry sauce you can use jam instead. I hope you will enjoy these little cakes.

Tips:
- Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have the best flavor and will give your cakes a beautiful color. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cakes at a high temperature. This will help the cakes rise and give them a light and fluffy texture.
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Use a light and fluffy frosting. A heavy frosting will weigh down the cakes and make them less enjoyable to eat.
- Garnish the cakes with fresh raspberries. This will add a beautiful touch of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Raspberry cakes with lavender are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their light and fluffy texture, delicate flavor, and beautiful appearance, these cakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
