A simple almond cake. You don\u2019t need ground almonds for this recipe – instead, you\u2019ll need marzipan. You can buy it ready-made or prepare homemade marzipan yourself. If you\u2019re a fan of Nigella Lawson and her cookbooks, the look of this simple almond cake may seem familiar. I\u2019ve served it the same way – with raspberries. The cake is very delicate straight after baking, but once cooled it becomes more compact and intensely almond-flavoured. It\u2019s quick to make – simply blend all the ingredients together. Highly recommended for almond cake lovers!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ingredients for the simple almond cake:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 250 g butter<\/li>\n
• 250 g marzipan<\/li>\n
• 150 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
• 6 large eggs<\/li>\n
• \u00bc teaspoon almond extract<\/li>\n
• \u00bc teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
• 150 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• 1\u00bd teaspoons baking powder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Additionally:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • fresh raspberries, to serve<\/li>\n
  • icing sugar, for dusting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    All ingredients should be at room temperature.<\/p>\n

    Place the butter and marzipan (both cut into pieces) into the bowl of a food processor. Add the sugar. Blend until smooth and fully combined – there should be no visible lumps. Add both extracts and blend briefly. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the plain flour and baking powder and blend until just combined.<\/p>\n

    Grease a 25 cm ring tin with butter and dust with flour, shaking off the excess. Pour the batter into the tin and level the surface.<\/p>\n

    Bake at 170\u00b0C for about 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. The cake may rise significantly and then sink slightly. Remove from the oven, cool in the tin, then transfer to a serving plate.<\/p>\n

    Decorate with raspberries and dust with icing sugar.<\/p>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n
