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.

    Really lovely. My husband loved it. I didn't have sufficient raspberries so I added a peach. It worked well.

    love raspberries and almonds so thought this looked lovely. It is nice but had hoped it would be tastier, but still worth making.

    I love making this cake and it tastes so lovely. I have had so many compliments from making this cake - i find it a failsafe as a dessert. A few months ago i tried making it with Strawberries though and i must say for me it definetly was not as nice. I think it needs the sharpness of the raspberries. I have some hand-picked blackberries so am going to try and make it with these- has anyone tried this?

    Easy and quick to make, delicious and looks like it took more work than it did! I have made this a few times and find it easier to freeze the raspberies first as this makes it easier to spread the top layer of mixture.

    I have baked this cake many times - it's so easy to make! I have made it for my bridge group and for my cookery and gardening group. Everyone who tries it asks for the recipe! My husband loves it too!!

    This is such a gorgeously delicious cake, and just amazingly easy to make! Chuck ingredients in a blender, add raspberries and almonds and bake.. SO easy! I get fruit from the pick-your-own farm and I now freeze raspberries in bags of 250g (amount for this recipe) so I can make it all year round ;)

    Just want to try to make this cake, but I have a doubt, what do you mean with vanilla extract? Natural vanilla from the pod or artificial vanilla extract as it is sold in the shops? many thanks for your answer

    Absolutely delicious ! Have had to buy raspberries to make this cake the family like it so much. Last time I didn't have enough raspberries and added a few blackberries to make up the difference - just as yummy.

    I made this cake yesterday and although the end result was good I had problems with it. When I mixed the ingredients it resulted in what looked more like pastry than cake batter so I added an extra egg and some milk. It then took 90 mins to bake rather than 50, but it turned out great and everyone loved it! I will definitely make it again.

    This is probably one of the nicest cakes I have ever made and I've made a lot! It was absolutely delicious, the raspberrys were gewy and soft and made the whole cake taste full of summery flavour and the almonds on top gave it a nice crunch. I will definately be making this again!
