Ingredients

  • 150g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 250g ricotta, any excess water drained away
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 200g golden caster sugar
  • 3 Enriched eggs
  • 140g self-raising flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 50g ground almonds
  • 150ml whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract/paste
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar, sieved
  • 150ml Greek yoghurt
  • 400g mixed summer berries

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/160º (fan). Grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm x 33cm, 6cm deep rectangular tin.
  2. Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat and put to one side.
  3. Beat the ricotta, almond extract and sugar with an electric whisk or stand mixer for 5 mins. Slowly pour in the melted butter and beat in the eggs one at a time.
  4. Sieve over the flour, baking powder and a pinch of sea salt and fold into batter along with the ground almonds. Spoon the batter into the prepared tin.
  5. Bake in the oven for 25-30 mins, until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
  6. Leave to cool completely in the tin before removing to a wire rack.
  7. Whip the cream with the vanilla and 1 tablespoon of icing sugar until soft peaks. Mix through the yoghurt. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the sponge, finish with summer berries and a final dusting of icing sugar.
