Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and base-line and grease a deep 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin. Blitz the ground almonds, butter, sugar, flour, eggs and vanilla extract in a food processor until well combined.
  2. Spread half the mix over the cake tin and smooth over the top. Scatter the raspberries over, then dollop the remaining cake mixture on top and roughly spread - you might find this easier to do with your fingers. Scatter with flaked almonds and bake for 50 mins until golden. Cool, remove from the tin and dust with icing sugar to serve.

    I made this receipe into buns, you don't need as many raspberries, just 2 or 3 per bun is fine and reduce the cooking time to around 25 minutes. They are absolutely lovely and really quick and easy too. I'm going to make them again for my nans birthday paty.

    Awesome recipe. And yes! Quick and easy to make! Here were my modifications... -100g Whole Almonds, cut in halfs instead of the ground almonds. It adds a great texture to the cake. -I used brown sugar instead of Golden Caster. - 1tspn almond essence and 1/2 tspn of vanilla essence (instead of just vanilla) -A combo of fresh cherries (remove pips!) and raspberries. Cherry Bakewell? Eat your heart out! :D

    I made this recipe last week with fresh raspberries from my garden. My family all enjoyed the cake, but were disappointed not to taste the ground almonds. I will definitely make this recipe again, but will use almond essence instead of vanilla.

    This cake is so easy to make and is really tasty. I agree with above comments, it's very comforting when served warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

    Made this today - it came out looking exactly like the picture. I didn't have any raspberries but used strawberries cut in half scattered over some blobs of raspberry jam - my son really enjoyed it as a pudding after his evening meal.................

    Chose this recipe after returning from PYO farm with more raspberries than we needed for a summer pudding. Made in a trice and we had it, warm from the oven with dollops of mascapone. We all loved it and enjoyed the rest, just as much, the next day for elevenses.

    Bake this last week and it came out very well and delicious. My family love it very much. I used blueberries instead of raspberries as the latter is much more expensive.

    I was all set to make this cake when hubby decided he would love a cream cake, so I changed a bit. Made the sponge as recipe but left the raspberries out. Then whipped some double cream until it was quite stiff and used it to "ice" the cake. Then scattered the fresh raspberries on top. It was yummy, even if a bit naughtier! Will try as recipe next time.

    Superb cake very easy - I amended the ingredients to 150gms and kept to two large eggs. as I had no raspberries I sliced fresh strawberries also 150 gms - the result was great and went down with great acclaim served with double cream. A recipe that will definitely be used again. My neighbour also made the cake as per the recipe the result, easy to make and delicious. Many thanks.
