Description

A delightful treat that combines the nutty flavor of almonds with the sweet-tartness of raspberries, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar. Mix well. Add the softened unsalted butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
  4. Reserve about 1/3 of the dough for the lattice top. Press the remaining dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
  5. Spoon the raspberry jam over the pressed dough, spreading it evenly.
  6. Roll out the reserved dough and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips over the raspberry jam in a lattice pattern.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the jam is bubbling slightly.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Lightly dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
  10. Slice and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee.

Notes

  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg or applesauce.
  • Consider adding a few drops of almond extract to the jam for a more intense flavor.
