Total preparation time: 1 hour
Refrigeration time: 12 hours (ideal for setting)
Number of servings: 10

Ingredients:

- 4 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 300 ml milk
- 2 packets of gelatin (about 14 g)
- 500 ml whipped cream
- 150 ml raspberry syrup
- 200 g fresh raspberries (or more if desired)
- 1 pack of ladyfingers

Step by Step Preparation:

1. Preparing the Egg Yolk Cream:
Start by separating the yolks from the whites. In a large bowl, whisk the yolks with the sugar until they become a smooth, light-colored cream. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

2. Cooking the Cream:
Place the mixture over a double boiler. It is important to stir continuously to prevent sticking. Cook until the cream thickens and resembles thin sour cream. When ready, let it cool slightly.

3. Preparing the Gelatin:
While the cream cools, dissolve the gelatin in the raspberry syrup. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then place the mixture over a double boiler, stirring until fully dissolved. Add the dissolved gelatin to the egg yolk cream (make sure it’s not too hot to avoid destroying the gelatin).

4. Combining Ingredients:
When the cream begins to thicken, fold in the whipped cream and beaten egg whites. Gently mix with a spatula, using up-and-down motions to keep the air in the mixture. If you want an extra flavor boost, you can add 100 g of crushed raspberries.

5. Assembling the Cake:
Take a pan (I used a loaf pan) and line it with plastic wrap. Arrange the ladyfingers soaked in raspberry syrup on the bottom and sides of the pan. Add the egg yolk cream and raspberries, leveling the mixture well.

6. Refrigerating:
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours (overnight is ideal) to set perfectly.

7. Finishing the Cake:
The next day, invert the cake onto a platter and carefully remove the plastic wrap. You can decorate the cake with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, or even grated chocolate, depending on your preferences.

Practical Tips:
- Make sure the whipped cream is well whipped but not to the point of turning into butter.
- You can experiment with other fruits (such as strawberries or blueberries) to vary the flavors.
- If you want a sweeter cake, you can add a little sugar to the whipped cream, but be careful not to make it too sweet.
