This delicious almond based cake is a moreish balance of fluffy frangipane sponge, cherries or berries, and almonds. Almonds are very typical in Sicilian cakes and across the Medit erranean, so this is a small tribute to Sicily. This recipe was actually created from a happy accident 10 years ago, when I was making an Almond & Cherry tart and forgot to make the pastry, before realising too late. In a rush to get it finished, I cooked the filling without its pastry case and it was a hit! Now, it's a firm favourite. Choose from Cherries or Berries for the filling. Show more
