Put a 14cm upturned plate on centre of 1 of the cakes (reserve second cake for another use). Use a small sharp knife to make a shallow cut around the edge of the plate.

Remove plate and use a dessert spoon to carefully scoop out ¾ of the cake, leaving a cake shell. Put ice-cream in a large bowl and set aside to soften for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine cordial and liqueur. Add a few drops of food colouring to tint. Brush inside of cake with tinted mixture.
-
Spoon ice-cream into cake shell and smooth surface. Top with raspberries, in a single layer, gently pushing them into ice-cream to secure in place. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight until ice-cream is firm.
-
Carefully hold cake in 1 hand and dust side of cake with icing sugar. Put cake on a chilled serving plate and top with extra raspberries. Dust top of cake with icing sugar and serve.
