Speedy Almond Berry Cake Fix (butter and flour free)

When you find yourself in a need-for-cake emergency, all you need is half an hour - and four ingredients.

Of course, I guess you could probably dash out to the corner shop in that time and just buy a cake, but NO, I urge you not to!

This is a butter and flour free cake, and also low in sugar. Which means you can get your cake-fix without feeling too 'guilty' about it. And although it will keep in the fridge for a few days if you need it too, this cake gets soggier over time, so you're best off eating it all at once really ;-)

Speedy to make, speedy to eat - what more do you want from a cake-fix?

Speedy Almond Berry Cake Fix (butter and flour free)

Print-friendly recipe

For a 7" sandwich tin (8 slices):

100g ground almonds
50g white sugar
100g fresh or frozen berries
1 lightly beaten egg

1) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
2) Mix together the almonds and sugar. Fold in the berries.
3) Gently mix in the beaten egg, then transfer to a lined sandwich tin.
4) Bake for about 20 minutes until the top just starts to brown.

Allow this to cool before slicing, as it's still pretty soft straight out the oven.
