RASPBERRY & ALMOND CAKE

Preparation 20 mins | Cooking 50-55 mins| Serves 8

150g unsalted butter, softened

2/3 cup caster sugar

2 free-range eggs, at room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup milk

1 cup self-raising flour

1 ¼ cups almond meal

250g raspberries (2 punnets)

Icing sugar, for dusting

Thick Greek-style natural yoghurt, to serve

STEP 1:  Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the base and sides of a 20cm round cake pan with baking paper.

STEP 2:  Using electric hand-beaters, cream butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk. Sift over the flour. Add almond meal and using a large metal spoon, gently fold in until well combined.

STEP 3:  Spread half the mixture into the pan. Scatter over half of the raspberries then top with the remaining mixture. Smooth top. Scatter with half of the remaining raspberries. Bake for 50-55 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool. 

STEP 4:  Dust with icing sugar, slice and serve with the remaining raspberries and yoghurt.
