Fay Ripley’s Raspberry Sweethearts

fay_ripleys_raspberry_sweethearts.jpgIngredients:

115g unsalted butter
30g plain or white spelt flour
130g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
100g ground almonds
3 large egg whites
Grated zest of 1 ½ unwaxed lemons
100g fresh or frozen raspberries


Pre-heated oven 180oC (fan), 200oC, gas mark 6





Recipe

1.  Melt the butter and use a little of it to generously grease a 6-hole muffin tin. (I use a heart-shaped muffin tin for extra show-off value)

2.  Separately sift the flour and icing sugar into a bowl.  Add the almonds and mix

3.  Whisk the egg whites in another bowl to soft-peak stage.  Then tip the eggs in to the flour mix.  Add the zest.  Pour in the butter and gently fold the whole lot together, using a big metal spoon.

4.  When combined, pour into the tins.  Then drop 2 or 3 raspberries on to each cake.

5.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then turn out and leave to cool.

To serve, dust with icing sugar.

Storage: These keep really well for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
