Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat 2 cups cream over medium heat until bubbles form around side of saucepan.
Pour over chocolate, whisking until melted; whisk in remaining cream. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. For filling, using a fine sieve, press raspberries into a large bowl. Discard seeds. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Let egg yolks and egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift flour and salt; set aside. For each cake, in a large bowl, beat 6 egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Add 1/2 cup of the flour mixture; mix well.
In another bowl, beat 3 egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Fold a fourth of egg whites into the batter, then fold in remaining whites. Gently spoon into parchment-lined 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in baking pan; spread evenly.
Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool on a wire rack. Repeat for second cake.
In a large bowl, beat 3 cups chilled white chocolate mixture until stiff peaks form; refrigerate. In a bowl, refrigerate the remaining white chocolate mixture. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 5 minutes. Dissolve gelatin over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Stir gelatin into strained raspberries.
Place bowl into a large bowl filled with ice water.
Let cool until mixture is syrupy, stirring occasionally.
Remove from water bath. Stir a fourth of reserved 3 cups whipped chocolate mixture into raspberry mixture; fold in remaining three-fourths of whipped chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set.
Invert cooled cakes onto wire racks. Trim edges; cut each lengthwise into thirds.
Spread one strip with a heaping cup of raspberry mixture to within 1 in. of short sides and 1/2 in. of long sides. Starting at the short end, roll up. Stand on end in center of serving plate.
Spread remaining raspberry mixture over remaining strips. Working with one strip at a time, and starting at the edge of the last strip, coil around center roll. Cover and refrigerate.
Beat reserved white chocolate until stiff peaks form.
Spread over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Garnish with raspberries and mint.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti are my top picks for Cake. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
