Instructions

Prepare the raspberry insert by cooking raspberries with sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan until soft, then blend, strain, and freeze in molds for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy, fold in sifted dry ingredients, spread batter on the tray, and bake for 8–10 minutes. Cut cooled cake into circles for the dome bases.
Bloom gelatin in cold water. Melt chocolate with heavy cream, stir in gelatin and vanilla. Let cool, then fold in whipped cream until smooth.
Spoon mousse into dome molds, press in frozen raspberry inserts, cover with more mousse, top with sponge circles, and freeze overnight until solid.
For the mirror glaze, bloom gelatin in cold water, combine sugar, water, cocoa, and cream in a saucepan, simmer until smooth, stir in gelatin, and cool slightly before use.
Unmold the domes onto a wire rack and pour the glaze over each, allowing excess to drip off quickly for a polished finish.
Thaw glazed domes in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh raspberries or gold leaf.

Notes

Use silicone molds for easy unmolding of the domes.
Make sure the glaze is not too hot to prevent melting the domes when poured.
Garnishing with fresh fruits adds both flavor and visual appeal.
