Transfer the dough to a 22 cm diameter ring and place it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Check readiness with a toothpick by inserting it into the center of the sponge. It should come out dry. Let the finished sponge cool completely.

Return to the ganache: after 12 hours, whip the ganache on low speed to stiff peaks. Once the first lines appear in the cream, stop and check the consistency. Whip more gently to prevent the ganache from splitting.
24
Fold yuzu juice into the whipped ganache with a spatula. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate.

25
Assemble the cake: place half of the crunch on the sponge and spread it over the sponge. The remaining can be frozen for next time.
26
For the next layer, spread a part of the ganache, place raspberry jelly on it, slightly sinking it into the cream.
27
Spread another layer of ganache on top, then place half of the mint jelly on it (the rest can be stored in the freezer).

Spread the remaining ganache on top and place it in the freezer for 2-3 hours.

Run the torch along the walls of the mold and remove it from the cake.

Decorate the cake with raspberry-shaped jelly and sprinkle with pistachio crumbs. Place the cake in the freezer for 2-3 hours and take it out 2-3 hours before serving. If the cake stays in the freezer longer, it will need to be thawed longer. Serve with tea.
