Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C/gas4/ fan 160C. Line the base of a loose-bottomed 23cm cake tin with greaseproof paper and butter the sides.

  • step 2

    Mix almonds, butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon, egg and egg yolk in a food processor just until the ingredients are evenly combined.

  • step 3

    Spread half the mixture over the base of the tin in a smooth layer with no gaps – easiest to do this with two forks. Lay the sliced strawberries on top. Add the remaining cake mixture and spread it as best you can, but don’t worry if a few strawberries peep through.

  • step 4

    Bake for 1 hour (it may need an extra 5 minutes), but check after 40 minutes – if it is getting too brown, cover loosely with foil. The torte should be slightly risen and dark golden brown when cooked.

  • step 5

    Cool in the tin slightly, then loosen the edges with a knife and remove from the tin. Slide the torte onto a plate and sprinkle with a dusting of icing sugar. Serve warm or cold, in wedges with dollops of cream and Greek yogurt.

One big soggy mess, unfortunately, so tossed it. Not sure where I went wrong as I feel I followed the recipe as written. I feel there were way too many strawberries which I believe contributed to the sogginess.

Cake is nice, but cooking method isn't the best. I melted butter, cooled it, mixed with 2 eggs, added almond essence for extra flavour and only then mixed in dry ingredients. Didn't need a lot of effort or food processor to mix everything. Decorated warm cake with strawberry jam and toasted flaked…

Absolutely fabulous cake. It’s very gooey so might cook it for a little bit longer next time. I got lots of complements. I had bought a big tray of half price strawberries so perfect for using them up. I am going to try freezing the last couple of slices.

I have made this dessert many times and is enjoyed by all I usually double up the ingredients to make a larger cake, I often use blackberries or a trio of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, I serve with clotted cream or homemade ice cream .

How do you remove the paper without the cake breaking up, mine tasted great but was very delicate.

Hi, thanks for your question. Our top tips would be to use non-stick baking parchment. Also, once you have removed the sides of the tin, slide a palette knife (or similar) horizontally between the bottom of the torte and the base of the tin - it should hopefully then slide off with some help (cup…
