Sponge cake with fresh raspberries

When I was a child, my uncle used to grow raspberries. He'd get so many, that it wasn't possible to eat them all before they went all squidgey, so he'd freeze them. When you get raspberries out of the freezer and put sugar on them, you end up with this sharp and sweet sugary syrup, with raspberries in. I almost prefer it to fresh raspberries, and yet I haven't eaten them like this for over 10 years. I pledge today that I will do something about this.

Related to this, are cooked raspberries. Like in raspberry pie, which is another way to solve the first world problem that is too many raspberries. 

The other day, someone brought us a sponge cake which she'd put raspberries on before she'd cooked. Presumably she put sugar on too. I thoroughly recommend it. This is what it looks like if you leave it alone for a moment while you get your camera.
