White chocolate, almond and raspberry cake
a.. 100 g good quality white chocolate
b.. 150 g unsalted butter, softened
c.. 150 g caster sugar
d.. 2 large eggs
e.. 100 g self-raising flour
f.. pinch salt
g.. 50 g ground almonds
h.. 200 g raspberries
i.. 200 g golden icing sugar
1.. Preheat the oven to 180ºC and base-line and butter a deep 18cm cake tin.
Melt the chocolate over a pan of hot water. Beat the butter and caster sugar
until fluffy then stir in the eggs one by one. Fold in the flour, salt and the
almonds, then once thoroughly combined, stir in most of the melted chocolate
(you need to leave about 1 tablespoon to drizzle).
2. Tip into the prepared tin. Take 100g raspberries and poke these into the
surface all over. Very gently smooth over with a spatula so the batter almost
covers the berries. Do not worry if some poke out.
3. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, covering loosely with foil for the
last 10 minutes. Test for readiness by inserting a wooden cocktail stick; it
should come out clean.
4. Invert on to a wire rack to cool. Purée the remaining raspberries then
push them through a sieve to eliminate the pips. Beat in the icing sugar until
smooth. Once the cake is cool, spread the icing over the top. Re-melt the
chocolate if necessary then drizzle over top in zigzags or straight lines.
