1. For Sponge: Whisk egg yolks until pale. Set it aside. Whisk egg whites, adding sugar a little bit at a time.  Lightly put the egg yolk mixture into egg whites and then, put in the sieved flour. Bake at 200 degree Celsius (395F) for approximately 12 minutes.

2. For Raspberry Compote: Cook caramel. Add in raspberries with a dash of raspberry liquor.

3. For Mascarpone Mousse: Whisk egg yolks until pale and frothy. Boil sugar to 121 degree Celsius (250F). Slowly add the boiled sugar into yolk mixture. Whisk the mixture until it is lukewarm. Add in melted gelatin. Mix mascarpone and cream to a smooth paste. Be sure not to over mix. Add mascarpone mixture a bit at a time into the yolk mixture and continue mixing until it thickens.
