Servings: 6 people
Calories: 359kcal
Ingredients
- 80 ml olive oil, rapeseed oil or melted unsalted butter plus extra for greasing
- 80 g oat flour (blend 80g of any type of plain oats you have in a food processor until it becomes a rough flour) plus extra for dusting
- 80 g ground almonds
- 80 g soft brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 4 tbsp milk or non-dairy milk
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 35 g plain dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids) finely chopped
- 100 g frozen or fresh raspberries
To serve:
- Whipped cream or natural yoghurt
- Fresh raspberries
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/Gas Mark 6 and grease a 23cm cake tin with oil, then dust with flour, tipping out any excess.
- Mix the ground almonds, oil, sugar, flour, salt, baking powder, egg, milk and almond extract in a medium bowl until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Sprinkle over the chopped chocolate and raspberries and slightly swirl them into the batter with a spoon.
- Bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes until the middle of the cake springs back when you apply light pressure with your finger.
- Remove from the oven and leave the cake to cool in the tin. Once completely cooled, slice and serve as is, or with whipped cream or yoghurt and fresh raspberries.
