A friend passed this recipe on to me and I made it for tea last night and it went down very well with our guests. Figured I should have pass it on as it's simple to make and tastes lovely:
175g ground almonds
175g softened butter
175g golden caster sugar
175g self raising flour
1 tsp ground cinammon
1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
450g strawberries hulled & sliced
icing sugar for dusting
greek yog mixed with whipped cream to serve
180 gas/160 fan oven bake for 1hr - 1hr 5mins
1. butter a 23cm loose base cake tin. Mix the almonds, flour, sugar, egg and egg yolk, cinnamon in a processor or with an electric hand mixing thing until evenly mixed.
2. tip half mixture into tin and smooth out (with fingers is easier) Spread strawberries on top and then smooth other half of mixture over the top.
3. Bake for 40mins and check if top is getting too brown - if so cover loosely with foil. Bake for allotted time until slightly risen and dark golden brown.
4. Cool slightly then dust with icing sugar and lo, you got cake.
