Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet (with sides) and line with wax paper.

- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until springy to touch.
- Turn out on a wire rack and cool.

- Spread cheese mixture on sponge cake.
- Reserve 6 to 8 raspberries. Sprinkle remaining raspberries over cheese mixture.
