Ingredients
- Butter: 100g butter or baking spread (Stork for cakes), softened, plus extra for the tin
- Self Raising Flour: 175g self-raising flour
- Ground Almond: 50g ground almond
- Baking Powder: 2 tsp baking powder
- Large Egg: 4 large eggs
- Caster Sugar: 225g caster sugar
- Greek Yogurt: 125ml full-fat Greek yogurt
- Lemon: zest 2 lemons
- Icing Sugar: 350g icing sugar, sieved
- Raspberry: 300g raspberry
- Blueberry: 175g blueberry
Directions
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a 30 x 20cm traybake tin with baking parchment. Measure all the sponge ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix together using an electric hand whisk until smooth. Spoon into the tin and level the surface.
- Bake for 25-30 mins until lightly golden and the top of the cake springs back when pressed with your finger, and the sides of the sponge are shrinking away from the sides of the tin. Carefully lift the sponge out of the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Remove the baking parchment.
- To make the icing, tip the butter into a bowl and whisk using an electric hand whisk until light and fluffy. Add half the icing sugar and whisk again until incorporated. Add the remaining sugar and whisk again until smooth. Spread the icing over the top of the cold cake.
- To decorate, place a double row of raspberries across the centre and down the length of the cake to make a cross. Next, place a single row diagonally from each corner to the middle. Now fill in the empty spaces with blueberries. Cut into squares to serve.
