Method

  1. Preheat the oven to fan 140C/conventional 160C/gas 3. Butter and base line a loose-bottomed 20cm round cake tin. Put the butter, caster sugar, eggs, flour and ground almonds into a large bowl. Beat using an electric hand whisk until all the ingredients are well blended.
  2. Spread half the cake mixture in the lined tin. Scatter over half of the amaretti biscuits then a third of the raspberries. Very lightly press into the cake mixture.
  3. Dollop dessertspoonfuls of the remaining cake mixture over the amaretti and raspberries and spread evenly. Scatter the remaining amaretti and half the remaining raspberries over the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  4. Cool for 15 minutes in the tin. Run a knife round the edge and turn out. It will keep in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  5. To serve, remove from the fridge an hour before serving and lightly dust with icing sugar before bringing to the table. Serve with the remaining raspberries and a little single cream.

    This was delicious, made it in the morning and once I'd removed the main course from the oven that evening, I turned the oven out and put the cake back in to warm through - perfect!

    So simple to make and really easy to scale up to my 9" cake tin. Went down a treat at work.

    Fantastic - but be warned, this cake is evil! Once you've made it you won't be able to stop eating it. Incredibly easy to make, amazing results, I'm inviting people over for dinner as an excuse to make it again... be a dreadful shame if I forget to serve it...

    Really good and went down a treat with many people. Cooking time definitely needs altering though.

    Took 90 mins to cook in my electric fan oven. Lovely combination of flavours and textures. Much enjoyed eaten warm with cream by my almond - loving husband.

    Really like this cake and is very easy to make. I do the first stage in my food processor with beaters and blend it for about 30secs. I have also made it with cherries now and its just as nice. I don't use ground almonds, just increase the flour and generally scale it down to a 7" tin using 2/3rd of the ingredients, although I never measure the fruit and biscuits. It is very nice warm, I put it in the microwave for a few seconds before eating and have it with cream.

    Delicious! Very easy to make, although be careful with the cooking time. I've made it several times now and it always needs about 20 minutes longer than the recipe says.

    Loved this one. Really really simple to make and so delicious and impressive. Have made it twice in the last week. The first time it only took 60 minutes to cook, and the second time it took nearly 75! Don't know why, but it tasted the same both times. Perfect pudding for a summer bbq.

    Have made this twice for different sets of visitors. It's fantastic and absolutely delicious. Took 80 mins to cook as suggested in other comments.

    As with everyone else, lovely easy cake, everyone loved it, but it took 2 hours in my electric hot air oven. Will try the other oven next time and see if this makes a difference.

    Haven't baked a cake for about 10 years and this one turned out great! I have an old fan oven and it took about an hour and a quater to cook - cover with foil near the end so your cake and rasperries don't burn. Also, make sure you use good biscuits as the crunch makes all the difference!

    Chose to make this cake from the 'Tempting Desserts' book. I'm glad I looked on here first though or I wouldn't have realised how much longer it took to cook. Mine probably took at least 90 minutes, but then I did use lower fat spread instead of butter, which works fine by the way. The cake is gorgeous and was demolished by all with no hint of leftovers for later! Will definitely make again.
