Bring 200 ml of milk to the boil along with the vanilla pod, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. In a bowl, mix 50 ml of milk with the egg yolk, sugar and flour and add to the boiling milk. Boil for around 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir the mascarpone into the cooled vanilla cream, then fold in the whipped cream and add the rum. Soak the sponge fingers in the raspberry cordial and water mix and use them to line the tin. Spread half of the cream mixture on top and scatter over 125 g of the raspberries. Then place another layer of soaked sponge fingers on top, followed by the remaining cream and raspberries.
Have fun cooking!
