Ingredients
  

  • 300 g almond flour (3 1/2 cups)(ground almonds)
  • 170 g honey (1/2 cup)
  • 5 eggs
  • 50 g coconut oil (1/4 cup)
  • 2 tsps almond essence
  • 300 g fresh rasperries
  • 400 g coconut milk (full fat)(1 1/2 cups)
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 10 g freeze dried raspberries
  • butter/oil for greasing the cake tin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 160C (320F).
  • Grease the (8in diameter) cake tin with butter or coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
  • Add the almond flour, honey, eggs, coconut oil and almond essence to a mixing bowl. Mix well to combine.
  • Roughly chop half of the raspberries (150g), add to the mixture and stir through to ensure an even distribution throughout the mixture.
  • Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix again thoroughly.
  • Spoon mixture into tin, smooth/flatten and bake in the oven for 40 mins or until a skewer inserted, comes out clean.
  • Turn out the cake and allow to cool on a wire cooling rack.
  • Once the cake is cool, slice in half widthways carefully.
  • Scoop the solid cream from the top of the coconut milk tin leaving behind the liquid.
  • Beat with wooden spoon or electric beaters until spreadable.
  • Spread coconut cream on the bottom layer and top with the rest of the raspberries(halved) - keeping a few back as decoration for the top.
  • Replace the top of the cake and decorate as you like.
  • I added a spoonful of the coconut cream to the top and topped with whole fresh raspberries.
  • Then I crushed up the freeze dried raspberries in a pestle and mortar and sprinkled the powder over the top to finish.
