Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and whip with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Make a French meringue by adding the remaining powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whipping to stiff but not dry peaks. Do not overwhip. Use a rubber spatula to fold the almond mixture into the French meringue in two additions, being careful not to deflate the batter. Gently fold in the melted butter, then the sifted flour, just until incorporated.

Place 1 layer on a parchment lined sheet pan. Over the top, spread half of the ganache to the edges in an even layer. Cover with another cake layer, then evenly spread the raspberry jam over the top all the way to the edges. Top with the third layer of cake and spread the remaining ganache evenly to the edges. It is very important for this layer to be even as it is the top of the cake.
