How to make?

You need to start by keeping the oven preheated at 35 degree Fahrenheit. Start by buttering two pans of eight inch diameter. These pans can then be lined by using parchment paper. If you are using butter paper, dust it with flour. Start by whisking the flour along with baking powder and salt in a large bowl. This can be set aside to work on the rest of the ingredients.

Start off with the eggs and yolks. These can be beaten with the vanilla extract. The egg mixture can then be beaten and mixed with sugar and butter. After this add in milk and flour mixture. The milk can be added in order to adjust the consistency of the cake batter. The batter can then be separated into the two pans. Both pans need to be baked for about 25 minutes till the center of the cakes is uniformly baked. Both the cakes need to be cooled and turned upside down. Meanwhile, you can combine the preserves and raspberries in a bowl. Add the mixture as the uniform layer on one cake side. Leave about an inch of border on the sides. This can then be topped by the second cake.
