1 cup pre-soaked raisins or sultanas in Muscat
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup castor sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Place the eggs, yolks, sugar and vanilla in a heat proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and whisk for 5 minutes or until thick and pale. Remove from heat and use an electric beater to whisk for about 8 minutes or until cool. Set aside.
Whip the cream separately until soft peaks form. Fold the cream and egg mixture together and pour into a metal cake tin.
