Bring frozen raspberries, sugar, citrus juices and 600ml cold water to the boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook until fruit is pulpy (10-15 minutes), then strain through a muslin-lined sieve into a bowl (do not press on solids). Transfer 250ml raspberry liquid to a clean pan over low heat, squeeze gelatine to remove excess water, add to pan and stir until gelatine dissolves (1-2 minutes). Return gelatine mixture to remaining raspberry mixture, stir to combine then transfer to a 1.5-litre container and refrigerate until set (overnight).

For Madeira cake, preheat oven to 160C. Beat butter and sugar in an electric mixer until pale and creamy (4-5 minutes), scrape down sides of bowl and add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, almond meal, baking powder and ½ tsp salt in a separate bowl, add to butter mixture with buttermilk and beat to just combine. Add fruit mixture and brandy, beat to combine, then spoon into a 25cm x 11cm loaf tin buttered and lined with baking paper. Smooth top, bake until golden and an inserted skewer withdraws clean (50 minutes-1 hour), cool in tin for 10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.
