ALMOND CAKE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Line the base of a 9-inch spring-form tin with baking paper and grease the sides.
• Process the almonds in a food processor until you have a fine meal. Remove to a mixing bowl.
• Process yolks and sugar in the food processor until pale and well-mixed.
• Whisk egg whites with a whisk or stand mixer until they form soft peaks (and look like glossy marshmallows).
• Gently add yolk mixture and almonds to the whites. Stir gently in a folding motion just until everything is combined.
• Transfer to prepared cake tin. Bake approximately 45-50 minutes, until the cake is deep brown and starting to shrink away from the sides of the tin.
• Make sauce: Mash together raspberries and sugar. Taste and add more sugar as necessary.
• Serve cake drizzled with sauce and topped with cream, if desired.
