Strawberry Shortbread Cake (Serves 6)
• 400g of ripe strawberries, washed, hulled and halved
• 1 tsp of sugar
• 175g of golden caster sugar
• 175g of ground almonds
• 175g of softened butter
• 175g of self raising our
• 1 egg and 1 egg yolk
• Icing sugar
• Thick custard or whipped double cream to serve.
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 4) and butter and line a loose bottomed
23cm/9 inch cake tin.
2. Place the strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle them with a little sugar and stir. Leave
to rest at room temperature whilst you make the cake mixture.
3. Place all the other ingredients, excluding the icing sugar into the food processor with
the chopping blade and combine on speed setting 2.
4. Once nished, spoon half the mixture into the cake tin and then top with the
strawberries, followed by the rest of the cake mixture. Try to cover the strawberries
as much as possible but don’t worry if some are exposed.
5. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 1 hour until it is risen and golden brown
on top. If you feel the top is going too dark, cover it with tin foil.
6. Dust with the icing sugar and serve in slices with custard or double cream
