Instructions

Prepare the raspberry insert by cooking raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until soft, then blend and strain. Bloom gelatin in cold water and stir into warm puree, then freeze in small molds for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment. Whip eggs and sugar until fluffy, sift in remaining dry ingredients, mix, and bake until springy, about 8–10 minutes. Cut cooled cake into circles.
Bloom gelatin in cold water. Melt chopped chocolate with 1/2 cup heavy cream in a heatproof bowl. Stir in bloomed gelatin and vanilla, and then fold in whipped remaining cream until airy.
Layer mousse into dome molds, insert frozen raspberry centers, top with more mousse, and place sponge cake rounds on top. Freeze overnight to set.
To make the mirror glaze, bloom gelatin and heat sugar, water, cocoa, and cream. Stir to mix, cool before glazing the domes.
Unmold the domes onto a wire rack and pour the glaze over them, allowing excess to drip off. Work quickly for an even finish.
Thaw glazed domes in the fridge for 2 hours before serving, garnishing with fresh raspberries or gold leaf if desired.

Notes

Ensure the raspberry insert is completely frozen before assembly for the best results.
Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for a richer flavor in the mousse.
Keep the domes covered while freezing to prevent freezer burn.
