Blackberry chocolate almond cake

  • SHARE
I love ripe blackberries in summer and one the best ways to have them is in a cake, especially one with chocolate and almond flour. And the recipe is very easy to follow.

Get summer on your dessert plate with rich flavours lightened up but the sweetness of blackberries.

METHOD:

Preheat the over to 180C.


Combine all dry ingredients and mix together well in a bowl.


In a separate bowl mix together all wet ingredients.


Then mix both together and stir or whisk well until you get a smooth batter.


Now line the bottom of a 20 or 22cm spring form baking tin with baking paper (this is important as it will stick to the bottom otherwise) and grease the sides with margarine.


Pour the batter into the tin and spread evenly. Add 16 blackberries to the batter in a circle (don't get too close to the sides of the tin. I only did one circle as I didn't have enough berries but I would do another inner circle with 8 blackberries in order to make the most of the fruit flavour.


Bake for 40 min. Do the toothpick test (stick a toothpick into the cake and if it comes out without any batter sticking to it then it's ready). Let rest for at least an hour (or until the cake has completely cooled down) and then sprinkle icing sugar on top and decorate with a few berries. Enjoy!
