This is one of those cakes that you don’t want to be without. It’s delicious, can be put together quickly using whatever soft fruit you have to hand, is easily made gluten free, works well as a Traybake should you prefer and is as happy as a pudding as it is with a cuppa. Quite frankly it’s a complete and utter Winner.
Ingredients
- 150g soft butter
- 150g caster sugar
- 150g ground almonds

- 2 large eggs
- 250g raspberries or other soft fruit

- flaked almonds
Method
- Line the base of a 20 spring form cake tin making sure sides are well buttered

- Arrange the raspberries (or other soft fruit) on top
- Bake for 40-45 mins or until cake is cooked
- Run palette knife round side of tin and release cake

This looks really delicious!
