Steps:
- Make the cakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 8-by-2-inch round baking pans; line bottoms with parchment paper rounds. Butter parchment; dust pans with flour, tapping out excess.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat until nut-brown in color, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and pour butter into a large bowl, leaving behind any burned sediment; stir in vanilla and keep warm (110 to 120 degrees). Wipe out saucepan.
- Fill the same saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer. Lightly whisk together eggs and superfine sugar in a heatproof standing mixer bowl. Set bowl over (not in) simmering water, and whisk until superfine sugar dissolves and mixture is lukewarm to the touch.
- Attach bowl to standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk on high speed until light, airy, and quadruple in volume, at least 5 minutes. Whisk 1 cup egg mixture into warm butter mixture.
- Sift together flour and cornstarch. Gently and quickly fold half the flour mixture into remaining egg mixture until combined, then repeat with remaining flour mixture. Gently fold in butter mixture, then divide between prepared baking pans.
- Transfer pans to oven and bake until golden brown and edges begin to pull away from the sides, about 25 minutes. (Avoid opening oven door during baking, as cakes are fragile and may collapse.) Remove cakes from oven and unmold immediately onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the raspberry curd filling: In a small food processor, puree raspberries until smooth.
- Whisk together granulated sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Whisk in zest and egg yolks, then whisk in lemon juice and salt. Add butter and place pan over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until butter has melted, small bubbles form around the edge of the pan, and mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and becomes clear, about 5 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat. Whisk in raspberry puree. Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a glass bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of curd and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
- Assemble the cake: Using a serrated knife, halve each cooled cake horizontally to form 2 layers. Place 1 layer on a cake turntable or serving platter; spread a scant 1/2 cup curd on top. Set another cake layer on top, and repeat process with remaining curd and cake layers. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Make the whipped cream: Whisk cream and confectioners' sugar to soft peaks. Spread entire cake with whipped cream, smoothing the top and sides. Top with raspberries, if desired.

RASPBERRY CURD
I guarantee that you'll be returning to the fridge throughout the day for a cheeky spoonful of this curd. Slather it on a slice of cake or gift a jar to a friend; either way, you'll be happy this recipe makes a little extra. When making curd, measure everything beforehand and have it at the ready. Using a double boiler is an insurance policy to prevent scrambling the eggs, and continual whisking is a must.

Steps:
- To set up the bottom of a double boiler, bring an inch of water to a gentle simmer on medium heat in a medium saucepan.
- Place the raspberries in a resealable plastic bag or small bowl and crush them.
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and lemon zest in a medium metal or glass bowl. The bowl will be used as the top of the double boiler. Place the bowl on top of the simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Continue whisking until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the butter, a cube at a time, making sure that each piece melts before another is added. The mixture will begin to thicken like a custard.
- Finally, add the lemon juice and crushed raspberries and continue whisking until the curd thickens again. This process takes approximately 10 minutes or until a candy thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
- Strain the curd through a sieve. Cover the surface of the curd with a film of plastic wrap to stop a skin from forming. Store any extra curd in sealed sterilized jars. Keep in fridge.

Steps:
- 1. If using frozen raspberries, measure them while still frozen, then let them thaw to room temperature.
- 2. Put the berries in a pot over low heat and cook for 5 to 1o minutes, stirring until they release their juice. Press the simmering fruit against the side of the pot with the back of a wooden spoon to release even more juice.
- 3. Pour the raspberry juice and pulp into a sieve. When using a sieve rub the juice and as much of the pulp through as you can, using the back of a wooden spoon (WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO RUN THROUGH IS THE SEEDS) Fine if not 100% of the pulp makes it through the sieve.
- 4. Transfer the juice and whatever pulp to the top part of a double-boiler or to a bowl large enough to be set over a pot that contains an inch or two of simmering water (You want the same amount of water in the double-boiler if using one
- 5. Add the other ingredients and stir constantly until the curd starts to thicken and can coat the back of a wooden spoon. This will take 20 to 30 minutes.
- 6. TIP;( The stirring constantly is important ), if you don't you will end up with small pieces of cooked egg in your raspberry curd. Also if you have never made fruit curds before it helps to know that the curd wont thicken to a soft pudding consistency you want while it's still warm
- 7. Spoon the curd into small clean jars. Unsealed fruit curd will only keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. For longer storage process 1/2 pint jars if raspberry curd in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
- 8. Raspberry curd can also be frozen for up to a year.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries. Fresh raspberries are ideal, but frozen raspberries can also be used successfully. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Strain the raspberry puree. This will remove any seeds or bits of skin that could give the curd a grainy texture.
- Cook the curd over medium-low heat. This will prevent the curd from curdling or becoming too thick.
- Stir the curd constantly. This will help to prevent the curd from scorching or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Do not overcook the curd. The curd is done when it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not overcook the curd or it will become too thick and rubbery.
- Let the curd cool completely before using. The curd will thicken as it cools. If you are using the curd as a filling or topping, let it cool completely before using so that it has a chance to firm up.
Conclusion:
Raspberry curd is a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts. It can be used as a filling for tarts and cakes, or as a topping for ice cream and yogurt. It can also be used as a spread for toast or crackers. The tips above will help you make a perfect raspberry curd every time.
