  • About

One of the most popular of all our desserts at Raynaudes, this is a cross between a crumble and a cake. Two things make it extra special when eaten on the Manoir terrace - beautiful home-grown raspberries from the fruit garden, and the exotic spiciness of Sri-Lankan cinnamon from the spice lady at Carmaux market.

Ingredients

  • 150 g blanched or ground almonds
  • 150 g softened butter

Method

Grease the tin, paying attention to the sides and top edge if using a fluted tin as this is where it will stick. If using blanched almonds, which have a slightly better flavour and more interesting texture than commercially ground, grind very thoroughly in the processor till fine - 2-3 minutes.

Now process the almonds with the butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon and egg till combined. Set ha
