• Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with baking or parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
• Add eggs, vanilla and almond extracts and beat briefly to combine. Don't worry it it goes a little lumpy at this stage.
• Add flour, almond meal, baking powder and salt, along with the milk. Gently mix together on a low speed, just until cake batter is smooth and creamy.
• Roughly tear 95 grams (3/4 cup) of the raspberries in half and fold them into the batter. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Press remaining whole raspberries on top. Scatter over flaked almonds.
• Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
• Leave cake to cool for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. To serve, dust cake lightly with icing sugar.

RASPBERRY-ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk egg, sour cream and butter in another bowl until blended. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. (Batter will be lumpy.)
• Pour 2/3 of the batter into 8-inch round baking pan sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle with berries and brown sugar. Top with tablespoonfuls of remaining batter. Sprinkle with nuts.
• Bake 30 to 35 min. or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 min. Remove from pan to wire rack. Cool 20 min.
• Mix powdered sugar, 1 tsp. milk and extract. Add remaining milk, 1/2 tsp. at a time, until glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over cake. Serve warm or at room temperature.

RASPBERRY AND ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Pre heat the oven to 170°c (approx. 325°f) and line a 23cm cake in with parchment paper and grease with butter or non- stick spray.
• Place the ground almonds, butter, sugar and eggs in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and fold in the self- raising flour until it is all folded in and no dry powder can be seen.
• Add both the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well.
• The mixture may seem dry and thick and not smooth like a cake batter should be, if this is the case add the milk one tablespoon at a time and mix between each addition of milk. You may need to use more or less milk than the recipe asks for depending on how thick your mixture is. The finished mix should be fairly smooth and have the consistency of any other typical cake batter.
• Once the mixture is ready, pour half of the batter into the prepared cake tin. Gently smooth the batter and spread it out evenly.
• Top the layer of cake batter with the fresh raspberries spreading them out evenly. Pour the remaining batter over the raspberries and spread it out so that no raspberries can be seen. It may be easier to spread the mixture out using your fingers instead of a spoon.
• Once the raspberries have been covered and the cake mixture has been evenly spread out, top the cake with the flaked almonds before using the back of a spoon to gently press the almonds into the cake so that they get stuck in the cake batter.
• Place in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes. Once the timer goes insert a skewer or tooth pick into the cake and it should come out clean (if the toothpick hits a raspberry it may come out wet, so try testing the cake with a toothpick a few times to double check)
• Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool further, it doesn't have to cool completely before eating.
• Dust with some icing sugar before serving. The cake tastes best whilst still slightly warm. It should be stored in an airtight container once it has cooled completely.
